CGI script, Pirate Box
what does it mean to share a git on ssh
CGI script
Web 2.0 way of talking about interactive web
for example: Javascript plugin in browser app
giving a URL to your python script

datetime=both name of module and name of class
create a date time object
1972,11,10 -M’s birthday :)
d=datetime.datetime(1991,11,9)
d.day()
type(d.day)
d.weekday()
put things into a variable if you know it will take some time to calculate
strftime
d.strftime("i was bored on a %A”)
d.strftime("i was bored on a %A, the %d %b”)
d=datetime.now()
n=datetime.datetime.now()
n.strftime("%Y%M%D”)
example of calculations: n+(n-d)
difference between method and module (any .py file, can also be a folder, can also be a module)
class=create fusions that have a little bit of data, and functions
datetime is a bunch of structure
datetime.timedelta
raw_input vs input
exceptions are used so that the program doesn’t stop
CGI
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
then in browser go to: localhost:8000
to add CGI:
python -m CGIHTTPServer
to use, you need to mkdir cgi-bin in the same folder
then use command:
cp birthday.py cgi-bin/birthday.cgi
in the new code document, add #!usr/bin/env python at the top, so that the script knows it’s python
now make it executable by running:
chmod +x cgi-bin/birthday.cgi
if it keeps the values there, it’s called sticky form
stateless http
cookies are a form of sticky data
if you are using CSS sheets, you need to put them outside the cgi-bin
static python library GEOip
http://d3js.org/
there is only one ssh master that everyone shares
