hi Marc, I'd recommend O'Reilly's Learning Python as an excellent beginners' book, if you haven't done any programming before. If you have, I think you should have a look at Dive into Python, which is available free online, or downloadable in various formats: http://diveintopython.org/ Ben Marc Burgauer wrote:
Hi
I'm sure that this question has been answered before, but searching the archive for a couple of hours, I could not find it. Yes, I'm new to python.
I am using Zope 2.4 on Solaris.
I need to send the input from a HTML form to a remote server as an HTTP post, but I first need to validate the inputs and convert them into an XML-formatted string. I want to do this in a python script. (I'm fine doing the XML formatting.)
The "remote" post is currently of a fire-and-forget nature, but in the future might be changed to contain a response (success/failure=>post again).
Cheers
Marc
PS: I'd be glad for recommendations of any good in depth "teaching" books on Python. I have the library references, but they are a bit brief for the un-initiated.
(a convert from PHP, where I knew how to do this)
