Subpackage Descriptions
single Python CGI ========== This is a fork of the standard library modules cgi and cgitb. They are slated to be removed from the Python standard libary in Python 3.13 by PEP-594_. .. _PEP-594: https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/ Installation ------------ Install the ``legacy-cgi`` package from PyPI:: $ pip install legacy-cgi Purpose ------- The purpose of this fork is to support existing CGI scripts using these modules. Thus, compatibility is the primary goal. Contributions are accepted, but should be focused on bug fixes instead of new features or major refactoring. New applications should look at the WSGI_ ecosystem. There's a number of highly-polished web frameworks available, and it's significantly faster in a typical deployment given a new Python process does not need created for each request. .. _WSGI: https://wsgi.readthedocs.io Documentation ------------- See the official documentation for Python 3.12 and earlier for usage: * `cgi module`_ * `cgitb module`_ .. _cgi module: https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/cgi.html .. _cgitb module: https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/cgitb.html The modules are not renamed, so code written for Python 3.12 or earlier should work without modification with this package installed.
