New CGI Repository

Once again, thanks to the folk at Python-hosting.com, there is another Subversion repository for some of the Voidspace Python Projects.

This one is for my CGI Projects, and can be found at :

http://svn.cgi.python-hosting.com/

This contains the following projects (each in their own folder on the trunk [1]) :

• downman

  File download Manager.

• guestbook

  The Voidspace Python Guestbook.

• logintools

  An authentication and user account framework for CGI applications.

• Other

  Containing :

  • akismet.py

    Interface to the Akismet anti-spam web service. It includes an example CGI.

  • approx

    A Python CGI proxy with a couple of related programs.

  • contact

    A simple script to provide a contact/feedback form on a website. Undocumented, but easy to use.

  • HTTP

    • Upload Scripts

      A CGI script/module for receiving uploads from a web form.

      Also a module for uploading files by HTTP, using urllib2.

    • HTTP Test

      An example script showing cookie handling, basic authentication, fetching URLs and understanding HTTP headers and the CGI environment variables.

  • Nanagram

    An online anagram server script.

  • protectedpage

    A simple example that shows how to use the logintools framework. This examples protects static html files behind a login.

  • randlink

    A couple of scripts that can redirect users to a randomly chosen URL.

  • skimpy

    A CGI search engine that uses the Yahoo Web Services. Undocumented, but the code is well commented.

  • webcounter

    A simple script that counts visitors to a webpage.

Of particular interest may be the following :

• Guestbook

  The version in SVN has several improvements over the latest released version. It has a couple of bugfixes, uses the akismet.py interface, and has additional anti-spam measures.

• skimpy and contact

  Both of these are previously unreleased. I was going to wait until I had time to write documentation and make a few improvements, but in the meantime...

[1]	There are also copies of released versions where, appropriate, in tags.
