First, create your file. give it your name and enter .py at the end, as an example lou.py
The py at the end of the file name indicates it is a python file.
Insert the following into your file, exactly as it appears. Copy and paste everything between ##start## and ##end## but do not includes ##start## and ##end## only what's between them.
##start##
#!/bin/python
# Required header that tells the browser how to render the text.
print("Content-Type: text/html\n\n")
# Print a simple message to the display window.
print("<h1>Hello, World!</h1>\n")
##end##
Go to Filezilla. This time, you will be uploading the file to cgi-bin not html. When you login, click on cgi-bin. The server is gwc.daisyware.com. It should look like this:
Now that the file is uploaded, you can access it as follows: http://gwc.daisyware.com/lou.py

Next, we are going to create another file to add two variables together and display the results.
First, create another file with your name and the number 2, e.g. lou2.py
Enter the following in the file (everything between ##start## and ##end##(
##start##
#!/bin/python
# Required header that tells the browser how to render the text.
print("Content-Type: text/html\n\n")
# Print a simple message to the display window.
print("<h1>Hello, World!<h1>\n")
var1=2
var2=3
var3=var1 + var2
print("<h1>The value is: \n")
print(var3)
print("</h1>\n")
##end##
Upload the file to the cgi-bin directory using Filezilla and access it as follows: http://gwc.daisyware.com/cgi-bin/lou2.py
