How to get POST/GET data in python
Question: I'm trying to get POST/GET data in my python script. I'm using the web.py
framework and below is my code:

    
    
    import web
    
    form = web.input()
    mydata = form.mydata
    

This is the error output im getting:

    
    
    File "script.py", line 22, in <module>
        form = web.input()
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/web.py-0.37-py2.7.egg/web/webapi.py", line 330, in input
        out = rawinput(_method)
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/web.py-0.37-py2.7.egg/web/webapi.py", line 291, in rawinput
        e = ctx.env.copy()
    AttributeError: 'ThreadedDict' object has no attribute 'env'
    

(I'm used to getting these variables in PHP and am not sure why im having a
hard time with python)


Answer: In web.py you have to define a class for the URL and functions for GET and
POST within it. So then in the POST function of the URL class you can set form
= web.input(). Below is a quick example of this structure.

    
    
    class Index:
        def GET(self):
            #Your GET code here...
    
        def POST(self):
            input = web.input()
