How to install Python with Wampserver

Question

I want install Python with Wamp or Appserv on windows, how to install ? can it run together ?

Answer 1

You can run python application on localhost. At first, install Python and then you have 2 methods:

---

Method 1: Native Python Server

1) Open CMD

2) run: cd path/to/project/

3) run: python -m http.server 8080

4) Open http://127.0.0.1/ and you will be in your project ! That's simple

__

Method 2 (worse method, not recommended): Wamp, Xamp, etc..

1) open ...wamp\bin\apache\apacheXXXX\conf\httpd.conf, then search for Options Indexes FollowSymLinks and add in the end: ExecCGI (or Includes ExecCGI)

2) Find & ensure that LoadModule cgi_module is NOT commented.

3) Search #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi and remove #. Then on next line add this:
AddHandler cgi-script .py

4) Find the line: DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm
and add in the end of them: index.cgi index.py
Now, Restart Apache.

5) create a sample.py, with content (just change C:\Python34 path with your installation path):

#!C:\Python34\python\python.exe
print("Content-type: text/html\n\n"); 
print("helloooooo")
#####---> for python Version 2.x, use: print "helloooooo"

p.s. NOTES: (A) To avoid problems, dont install PYTHON in a path, wherein any "folder name" contains a space. (B) There should not be a space between the start of line and print(..

6) Restart WAMP.

THAT's all!! Open http://localhost/sample.py !!

p.s.note, in come cases, while using .htaccess [inside .py directory], you might need to insert these lines in .htaccess:
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .py
