Python Cgi Samples

The documents show the evolution of a Python CGI program that takes user input of a first and last name from a web form, stores it in a MySQL database, and displays it back. Document 1 contains the initial sample Python CGI program that displays a basic HTML form. Document 2 adds functionality to retrieve and display the submitted form values. Document 3 modifies it to insert the values into a MySQL database. Document 4 removes the database table creation code. Document 5 changes it to a POST form and repopulates the submitted values.
