I am trying to make some python scripts on google appspot. I am just starting with python so I don’t now verry much about it.

I am using the example code you can find on the google appspot documentations. But whenever I submit the form in this code, I just get an blank page and no errors. Anyone knows why?

import cgi

from google.appengine.api import users
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext.webapp.util import run_wsgi_app

class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler):  

    def get(self):
      p = self.request.get("p", default_value="25")

      self.response.out.write("""
          <html>
            <body>
              <form action="/" method="post">
        The first <input type="text" name="p" value=""" + p + """ style="width: 35px;text-align:center;"> fibionacci numbers:<br />""")

      p = int(p)
      a, b = 0, 1
      while p > 0:
    self.response.out.write(str(b) + " ")
    a, b = b, a+b
    p = p - 1

      self.response.out.write("""
              </form>
            </body>
          </html>""")


application = webapp.WSGIApplication([('/', MainPage)],
                                     debug=True)

def main():
    run_wsgi_app(application)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Thank you in advance.

    WOAH

    If you’re using google app engine (hosted on appspot so I’m sure that’s what you’re using) then you use this:

    tPostVariable = self.request.get('PostVariableName')

    If you’ve set up your handler like this then it will automagically work:

    class ClassName(webapp.RequestHandler):
    #For Get Pages
    def get(self):
        tPostVariable = self.request.get('PostVariableName')

    #For Post Pages
    def post(self):
        tPostVariable = self.request.get('PostVariableName')

    That will work for both GET and POST variables.
