open up to whom? I'm not sure I like the combination of "windows app"
and "opened up to the internet", really...
but assuming that you're aware of the issues involved, and want a
light-weight HTTP server for Windows, this one's pretty nice:

there's also apache, of course, and a bunch of others, including several

You can do HTTPS with Twisted, you'll have to learn how to use Twisted which
can sometimes be a task in itself. Most everything is pretty easy to learn
although I get a little befuddled by the way they handle authentication
myself. I personally think it's worth it though, Twisted is a great resource

I have used CherryPy sucessfully as a windows service.

Wow! All these years when I occasionally heard of a "thunk" I never
was told, until now, what it really meant. Thanks for the info!!
Followup question #1: I assume these are lexical closures in the
environment of the point of the call, right?
Followup question #2: For simple arithmetic expressions, I can

Neat. I think I'm going to use this approach, since BDFL-in-chief is
unlikely to listen to me in any foreseeable future. :-)

I'm attaching the meaning of "deleted the line (manually (not in
python))" to truncated, I'm actually using ipython, but though it would
be a good practice to type it out as if it come from the standard
interpretor. I also though it would be OK to leave out some output which
I considered unnecessary.

That's only true if you actually instantiate the class. You can just
use the class directly -- that's what I do.

I just started looking at the with statement myself. How about:
from __future__ import with_statement
class ExceptionManager(object):
def __enter__(self):
pass
def __exit__(self,exc_type,exc_val ue,tb):
if exc_type == IOError:
print 'IOError',exc_value[1]

Thanks, Fredrik - that definitely works. Now to get a little greedy -
is there something along those lines that is a bit more secure (i.e.
allows HTTPS, possibly with authentication)? Basically something that
you would feel more comfortable opening up to the Internet..

fred...@pythonware.com (Fredrik Lundh) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:28:23 UT

don't think what?
if you keep using the same variables in all submethods you call from a
method inside the class, why not make them attributes?
otherwise, using the **-form when *calling* the methods might work. you
can use the **-form in the functions to ignore arguments that you're not
interested in.
