How to use python for a webservice

I am really new to python, just played around with the scrapy framework that is used to crawl websites and extract data.

My question is, how to I p开发者_开发问答ass parameters to a python script that is hosted somewhere online.

E.g. I make following request mysite.net/rest/index.py

Now I want to pass some parameters similar to php like *.php?id=...

Yes that would work. Although you would need to write handlers for extracting the url parameters in index.py. Try import cgi module for this in python.

Please note that there are several robust python based web frameworks available (aka Django, Pylons etc.) which automatically parses your url & forms a dictionary of all it's parameters, plus they do much more like session management, user authentication etc. I would highly recommend you use them for faster code turn-around and less maintenance hassles.
