Description:
z_cgi.py provides a simple interface for CGI applications.
It does not currently support reading information from standard in.
Future versions will probably be delivered in a packaged format.
Source: Text Source
'''Support module for use by CGI scripts.
This module provides several functions and variables
that help with printing text and accessing form data.'''

Discussion:
If you have a CGI program that does not require the large CGI module found in the standard library, then you may want to consider this module instead. Like most code, it is always in developement and will probably support reading and processing information from Standard In somewhere in the near future. The following is program for testing the the z_cgi module is working correctly.
import z_cgi
def main():
z_cgi.print_plain('string = ' + repr(z_cgi.string) + '\ndictionary = ' + repr(z_cgi.dictionary))
if __name__ == '__main__':
z_cgi.execute(main, 'cgi')
