In this document we will (eventually) explain how to create Python CGI scripts
for use with NetPresenz and probably other Mac-based HTTP servers too.

Since CGI scripts are AppleEvent servers on the mac we will also learn
a little about general AppleEvent server programming and about applet
debugging. <p>

types of cgi scripts mean, but experiment with them.
