The modules described in this chapter provide various services to
World-Wide Web (WWW) clients and/or services, and a few modules
related to news and email. They are all implemented in Python. Some
of these modules require the presence of the system-dependent module
\code{sockets}\refbimodindex{socket}, which is currently only fully
supported on \UNIX{} and Windows NT. Here is an overview:
\begin{description}
\item[cgi]
--- Common Gateway Interface, used to interpret forms in server-side
scripts.
\item[urllib]
--- Open an arbitrary object given by URL (requires sockets).
\item[httplib]
--- HTTP protocol client (requires sockets).
\item[ftplib]
--- FTP protocol client (requires sockets).
\item[gopherlib]
--- Gopher protocol client (requires sockets).
\item[poplib]
--- POP3 protocol client (requires sockets).
\item[imaplib]
--- IMAP4 protocol client (requires sockets).
\item[nntplib]
--- NNTP protocol client (requires sockets).
\item[smtplib]
--- SMTP protocol client (requires sockets).
\item[urlparse]
--- Parse a URL string into a tuple (addressing scheme identifier, network
location, path, parameters, query string, fragment identifier).
\item[sgmllib]
--- Only as much of an SGML parser as needed to parse HTML.
\item[htmllib]
--- A parser for HTML documents.
\item[xmllib]
--- A parser for XML documents.
\item[formatter]
--- Generic output formatter and device interface.
\item[rfc822]
--- Parse \rfc{822} style mail headers.
\item[mimetools]
--- Tools for parsing MIME style message bodies.
\item[multifile]
--- Make each part of a MIME multipart message ``feel'' like a regular file.
\item[binhex]
--- Encode and decode files in binhex4 format.
\item[uu]
--- Encode and decode files in uuencode format.
\item[binascii]
--- Tools for converting between binary and various ascii-encoded binary
representation
\item[xdrlib]
--- The External Data Representation Standard as described in \rfc{1014},
written by Sun Microsystems, Inc. June 1987.
\item[mailcap]
--- Mailcap file handling. See \rfc{1524}.
\item[mimetypes]
--- Mapping of filename extensions to MIME types.
\item[base64]
--- Encode/decode binary files using the MIME base64 encoding.
\item[quopri]
--- Encode/decode binary files using the MIME quoted-printable encoding.
\item[SocketServer]
--- A framework for network servers.
\item[mailbox]
--- Read various mailbox formats.
\item[mimify]
--- Mimification and unmimification of mail messages.
\item[BaseHTTPServer]
--- Basic HTTP server (base class for SimpleHTTPServer and CGIHTTPServer).
