Running Python scripts with Xampp

Question

I\'m using python 2.7.13
At first the browser was showing the raw code.

what I did:

Edited httpd.conf

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .as         


        

Answer 1

Im running ubuntu 16.04 so my answer might be a little different. I am using a google chrome browser with a python 3 file called test.py in /opt/lampp/htdocs/PythonProject:

#test.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3
print('Content-type: text/html\r\n\r')
print("
hello world!
")
print("I can view this in my browser yay!!")

I edited my httpd.conf file in /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf and I did not add

AddHandler cgi-script .py
ScriptInterpreterSource Registry-Strict

to the end of the file, instead I added .py to the end of the existing line

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

finally i made the file executable by chmod +x /opt/lampp/htdocs/PythonProject/test.py and then I just ran it through my browser:

http://localhost/PythonProject/test.py

OUTPUT:

hello world!

I can view this in my browser yay!!
