3.3. Dynamic Content

The most common use of Spyce is to serve dynamic HTML content, but it should be noted that Spyce can be used as a general purpose text engine. It can be used to generate XML, text and other output, as easily as HTML. In fact, the engine can also be used to generate dynamic binary data, such as images, PDF files, etc., if needed.

The Spyce engine can be installed in a number of different configurations that can produce dynamic output, including:

  • mod_python: Apache module that runs a Python interpreter in-process
  • FCGI: A CGI-like method that does not incur the large process startup overhead on each request
  • webserver: The engine can operate as a proxy webserver, serving requests redirected to it by a primary server. It can also operate as a primary server, although this webserver is extremely feature poor.
  • CGI: Spyce can interoperate with any webserver that supports CGI
