Python2.7 's cgihttpserver can be used as a simple HTTP server, capable of invoking CGI scripts

1 Create a special directory cgi-bin in any directory to hold scripts (. py or. cgi) that you write

2 Execute python-m cgihttpserver in the directory where Cgi-bin is located , start the server

3 in the browser input IP:8000/cgi-bin/xxx.py can call xxx.py script in Cgi-bin directory (Linux may want to change permissions 755)

#!/usr/bin/python          #for Linux#  -*-coding:utf-8-*-print"  content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n"      #HTTP的header  \r\n\r\n Means the end of the head, the contents of the back are bodyprint " " "
