Common Gateway Interface (CGI) technology is widely used by many web application servers for rendering dynamic content to a client computer's web browser.

First line in the script is called a shebang.

Most common use of the POST method is to send HTML form data to a particular URL by specifying its method attribute to POST:

One of the advantages of using the POST method is that there is no restriction on its data size. Also, the request query string is not exposed in the browser's URL.

Python library also contains cgitb module.

This object can be considered as a dictionary object with the name attribute of HTML form element as key and the data entered as value.
