Web Apps in Python... Where Do I Start?

[tharden3]

Hey guys, I'd love to start writing code to go along side my HTML/CSS stuff. I'm designing neat web sites, but I need some functionality behind it. I want to write web apps in python for these sites. What would you suggest I use?

I'd recommend Django . It has a nice tutorial on how to write a poll app and is very pythonic :)

No, if you don't yet know how to code, Django is a horrible idea. Go through the tutorial, write some demo apps, and make sure that you feel comfortable with the language. Then write some CGI scripts (like a login form, comment box, etc.) so you know how cookies, post data, sessions, etc. work. *Then* take a look at Django.
