today I will move lights on hidden feature provied by SPMPT. When I release the first version of SPMPT, my main intention was to make installation of Trac and Subversion easly for evry developpers. But with time and users feedback, I know now, Python programmers using Mac found in SPMPT a great and easy tool to install python on Mac. So this is a little "Hello world" tutorial for people who used SPMPT, and want to try python in MAMP.
Apache configuration
First you have to prepare the environment, you need to create a Directory in Apache.
create a new file, for example mypython.conf
<IfModule !mod_python.c>
LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so
</IfModule>
<Directory /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/python-hello>
AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler hello
PythonDebug On #for developpemnet enable debug
</Directory>
Your first program
You have to create the python-hello folder in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/
now we will create the python script : /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/python-hello/hello.py
01. from mod_python import apache
02.
03. def handler(req):
04. req.content_type = "text/html"
05. req.send_http_header()
06. req.write('<html><body>')
07. req.write("Hello<br/>")
08. req.write("This is a loop for in python : <br/>")
09. a = ['cat', 'window', 'defenestrate']
10. for x in a:
11. req.write(x)
12. req.write('<;br/>')
13. req.write('</body></html>')
14. return apache.OK
For advanced programmers, Django is recommended.
I'm not a python programmer so, if you have some questions, ask google.
