CGI

CGI is a practical Python topic. Explain the job in school English, then the first three steps you would actually do.

CGI in practice: Pygame = game loop + window. CGI = old web scripts (today: Flask). Design patterns = reusable class shapes (singleton, factory) — only when the problem needs them. Deploy = put the script on Linux/Windows with venv + a start command. IDE = VS Code / PyCharm to edit and run.

For CGI always — venv, requirements.txt, don’t commit secrets.

CGI — output — CGI header then Hello Asha. Today most people use Flask instead.

Exam tip

Job in one line + three steps.

Example

# CGI
print("Content-Type: text/plain")
print()
print("Hello Asha")

CGI — output: CGI header then Hello Asha. Today most people use Flask instead.

Short notes

DefCGI — practical job.
RuleCGI — three real steps.
RememberCGI needs venv + requirements.
TrapSecrets in git.
