python-in-xampp-for-windows:

Run python in xampp for windows 18.09.12, 01:45 The setup takes nearly 2 min.

Assuming that you have already installed xammp in your windows PC, You can follow the below steps to run python in your localhost

STEP 1:

Download & install the latest version of python from here Download Python click on the windows installer of any version

STEP 2:

Install in any directory of your harddrive

STEP 3:

Open the directory where xammp was installed Go to apache >> conf

You'll see a file named httpd.conf Open it in any text editor & put the below codes in the end of that file

Code: AddHandler cgi-script .py ScriptInterpreterSource Registry-Strict The next step is optional

STEP 4: In same file search for When you've found it put index.py in the end It will look something like this Code: DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.asp index.shtml index.html index.htm
default.php default.pl default.cgi default.asp default.shtml default.html default.htm
home.php home.pl home.cgi home.asp home.shtml home.html home.htm index.py STEP 5: That's all for editing, now restart apache from your xampp control panel

STEP 6:

Open a text editor & test python now

But wait at the beginning of your script you need to specify the path where you've installed python

In my case its C:/python27/python.exe In your case it may be different, depending up on the version you've installed python & the directory of your hard drive

PHP Code: #!D:/Python27/python.exe print "Content-Type: text/html\n" print "This is cool"
save the file as test.py in htdocs & open http://localhost/test.py If everything goes well, You'll see the text This is cool

Now, who the hell is gonna install python just to see the stupid text "This is cool" ?!

Here's the code to grab a web page w/ python

PHP Code: #!C:/Python27/python.exe print "Content-Type: text/html\n" import urllib2 response = urllib2.urlopen('http://python.org/') html = response.read() print html
LOL
