Subject: [Web-SIG] WSGI unquoting rules
Message-ID: <435DF58A933BA74397B42CDEB8145A86224C1F@ex9.hostedexchange.local>

PEP 333 doesn't directly state whether a WSGI server should unquote the path or the query string before setting SCRIPT_NAME, PATH_INFO, and QUERY_STRING. The "URL Reconstruction" section assumes that the path has been unquoted but not the query string, as do wsgiref.simpleserver and most other WSGI servers in the wild.

Shouldn't the spec define this explicitly?

These values are defined by the CGI spec, not the WSGI spec, which 
incorporates the rules of the CGI spec for these variables.  See the 
References section at the end of the PEP.

A bit of Googling reveals, by the way, that the Internet-Draft referenced 
by the PEP has been superseded by an actual RFC for CGI 1.1:

     http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875

Apparently this came out after PEP 333 was basically finished, but should 
probably be updated to reference it in place of the CGI 1.1 draft spec.

Message-ID: <20060816125843.GD2670@radix50.net>

Hello,

I'd like to ask some general questions about web-specific issues. Is
this list appropriate for that? If not, is there a place better than
python-list?

With kind regards,
Baurzhan.

Subject: [Web-SIG] html dom like javascript ?
Message-ID: <44E478E7.50908@brightphoton.com>

Is there a python library which is analogous to javascript for creating 
html/xhtml documents? e.g.:

         hidden = document.createElement("input")
         hidden.setAttribute("type", "hidden")
         hidden.setAttribute("name", "active_flag_hidden_" + ctl)
         if( dirtyArray[ctl].checked == true) {
            hidden.setAttribute("value", 'N')
                 } else {
            hidden.setAttribute("value", 'Y')
         }
         document.forms['listForm'].appendChild(hidden)

At least fifty.  The DOM API is heavily standardized with hundreds of
implementations in dozens of languages.

http://python.org/doc/lib/module-xml.dom.html

Thanks for the rapid reply.  I am familiar with a number of these and 
have searched the web documentation but for the most part these appear 
to be parsers or things like:

http://www.acooke.org/andrew/writing/python-xml.html#code

That are xml centric and not html related.   I'm looking for something 
that is more html specific that contains all the options for any html 
widtget, like a form element with all of its options like style, css, 
and so forth.  In other words I dont want to have to write my own xml 
file with all the html tags and options.

You probably want elementtree (http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm).

Thanks very much.  That does look like what I'm after.
