This is the home page for the
Python Server Pages distribution. From this page you can download PSP and find out
about updates to PSP as well as news about Python and JPython. PSP is a server-side scripting engine designed along the lines of Microsoft's Active Server Pages and Sun's Java Server Pages specification. The major difference between ASP and PSP is that PSP is written in 100% Java and portable to a wide variety of platforms. Web applications written in ASP can be run only on Microsoft platforms. PSP uses JPython as its scripting language which seems to be vastly more appropriate for scripting web sites than the Java language itself in Java Server Pages. A major benefit to using PSP is the huge number of add-on modules available for Python and JPython. You can access any module that is compatible with JPython from within your PSP application's pages. Since JPython is itself written in Java, you can access Java packages from your PSP application as well. Python Server Pages has been under development for several months and has been deployed in several Intranet sites. PSP is currently being evaluated for commercial viability in Internet e-commerce and portal sites. See the excerpt from the PSP Programmers Reference, Creating Pages, for examples of PSP pages.
