Processing Forms
Web applications allow you to easily collect and process data from site visitors. Web forms provide
an excellent way to interact with your program users to retrieve dynamic data for processing or
storage in databases.
The Python CGI environment provides an easy way for your Python scripts to retrieve and use form
data in your web applications. The follow sections walk through how you use it.

The HTML standard provides elements you can use to create forms. Your site visitors can then fill
out these forms to submit data to your web applications. Table 22.2 lists the HTML form elements.
