PP4E: Internet examples

The links below launch various browser-based Internet examples, which are described in the book Programming Python, 4th edition. Most invoke Python-coded CGI scripts on a server machine, which will run only if you are running a web server. There are many additional Internet examples in the text (e.g., the ftp, email, and socket programs listed below), but they are designed to be run from a command line, tkinter GUI, or other context, not from a web browser. Also see the top level of the examples distribution for tkinter-based GUI demo launchers.

Note

For the sake of security and simplicity, I have only selected some Internet examples of the book. Also, to run these examples on my site, I have made some minor changes (like URL, look & feel). The original samples can be found in: PP4E Resources.
