i'm learning python and i have to say i already like it way more than php. sure php has pear and you can get your module on that way, but python is just so elegant and simple -- like LISP, my first programming love

That's exactly my feeling about Python; it makes programming enjoyable. The way it lets you combine procedural, OO and functional programming in whatever mix you prefer is very liberating.

Python is my language of choice, and has been for the best part of a decade.

can you help me get vars out of an html form? i am trying to upload a file via an html form and then stream the content across a telnet port. i have everything except extracting the content of the file. what should i use?! halp! i've been looking at cgi...

[kineticfactory]

Are you writing a CGI script, or something else (WSGI web app or somesuch)?

If the former, the cgi module is your friend. The form field which is an uploaded file will have a .file attribute you can read like an opened file; there's a code snippet here.

here's my code. i think it's not working because the modules i'm working with are not respecting files. but i need to do some more digging.

from splunk import auth, search
import splunk.rest

import logging as logger
import time

import telnetlib

import base64

import cgi, os
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

foo = '''

Inputs

class inputs(splunk.rest.BaseRestHandler
