Question about Python

[bmcpanel]

A customer is asking about Python. Can anyone tell me if Python is configured to be used as he is referring below? I am Python illiterate.

Thanks...

=========================
Actually, I believe my question falls under configuration and not programming. As you must configure the Apache server to recognize and execute PHP scripts, so it must do to allow Apache to recognize and execute Python scripts. I think the Apache server must be set up to recognize the standard .py Python extention and then reference the python binary in order for it to be executed, in a similar fashion as it does for PHP.

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java not PHP

You should put this header in every python scripts/programs

#! /usr/bin/python

Also like mod_perl there is an integration with Apache for python too which is called mod_python (however it is not recommended to use these modules)

Also Add handler for .py file to httpd.conf
