Converting Python String into TupleWe can convert a Python string into tuples by simply mentioning a comma (, ) after the string. This will treat the string as a single element to the tuple. Example Here our string variable “s” is treated as one item in the tuple, which can be done by adding the comma after the string - s = "python" print("Input string :", s) t = s, print('Output tuple:', t) print(type(t)) Following is the output of the above code - Input string : python Output tuple: ('python', ) Using tuple() Function Also, ...

By using the dict() method in Python, we can create a dictionary with the list comprehension. Following is the syntax of dict() method- dict(**kwarg) Keyword arguments. We can pass one or more keyword arguments. If no keyword argument is passed, then the dict() method will create an empty dictionary object. The syntax for creating a dictionary with list comprehension: dict(list_comprehension) Creating Dictionary using List Comprehension Instead of sending a number of keywords here, we need to send a list of tuples with key-value pairs to the dict() method. Let’s take an example and create a dictionary using a ... Read More

While creating a function the single asterisk (*) defined to accept and allow users to pass any number of positional arguments. And in the same way the double asterisk (**) defined to accept any number of keyword arguments. The single asterisk (*) can be used when we are not sure how many arguments are going to be passed to a function and those arguments that are not keywords. The double asterisk (**kwargs) can be used to pass keywords, when we don't know how many keyword arguments will be passed to a function, which will be in a dict named ... Read More

Suppose there is an HTML file as below − FirstName: LastName: After submitting this form it should go to a Python page named "getData.py", where you should fetch the data from this HTML page and show. then below is the code for Python CGI. #!C:\Python27\python.exe # Import modules for CGI handling import cgi, cgitb # Create instance of FieldStorage form = cgi.FieldStorage() # Get data from fields first_name = form.getvalue('first_name') last_name  = form.getvalue('last_name') print("Content-type:text/html") print print("") print("") print("Hello - Second CGI Program") print("") print("") print(" ...

# Get data from fields from HTML page first_name = form.getvalue('first_name') last_name  = form.getvalue('last_name') send data to Browser print("Content-type:text/html") print print("") print("") print("Hello - Second CGI Program") print("") print("") print(" Hello %s %s " % (first_name, last_name)) print("") print("")

It is possible to get a custom request header's value in an apache CGI script with python. The solution is similar to this.Apache's mod_cgi will set environment variables for each HTTP request header received, the variables set in this manner will all have an HTTP_ prefix, so for example x-client-version: 1.2.3 will be available as variable HTTP_X_CLIENT_VERSION.So, to read the above custom header just call os.environ["HTTP_X_CLIENT_VERSION"].The below script will print all HTTP_* headers and values −#!/usr/bin/env python import os print "Content-Type: text/html" print "Cache-Control: no-cache" print print "" for headername, headervalue in os.environ.iteritems():     if headername.startswith("HTTP_"):         print "{0} = {1}".format(headername, headervalue)   ...
