Hi! I use python NLTK library in CGI script to tokenize some text in XAMPP web server. If i simply use:
someamountoftext = "someamountoftext someamountoftext someamountoftext" and then nltk.word_tokenize(someamountoftext) or nltk.sent_tokenize(someamountoftext), the print(someamountoftext) It will work.
BUT! If I use this:
#!C:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310-32\python.exe

import os
import urllib.parse
import nltk
query_dict = urllib.parse.parse_qs(os.environ['QUERY_STRING'])

def tknz_wrd(someamountoftext):
    return(nltk.word_tokenize(someamountoftext))


print("Content-Type: text/html\n")
print (tknz_wrd)

It does not print anything on screen. No erros, just white browser screen.
But if I use (tknz_wrd(someamountoftext)) I get error, since there is no such variable(someamountoftext), but I DONT need to tokenize static text. I want to process data from WEB. That's why it CGI script!
What am I doing wrong, guys? How to make function def tknz_wrd() work? Wall

I use: Apache/2.4.53 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1n PHP/7.4.28
python 3.10.4

Problem solved. So i made few mistakes, and the correct code is:

#!C:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310-32\python.exe

import os
import urllib.parse
import nltk

query_dict = urllib.parse.parse_qs(os.environ[‘QUERY_STRING’])
input_something = str(query_dict[‘someamountoftext’])[2: -2]
def tknz_wrd(someamountoftext):
return(nltk.word_tokenize(someamountoftext))

print(“Content-Type: text/html\n”)

print (tknz_wrd(input_something))

It processes data, recieved from browser line, like: http://localhost/speciallocation/local/tokenize/morgot.py?someamountoftext=Enter%20your%20text%20here

morgot.py - name of CGI file.

'?someamountoftext=' This is how you enter data into variable

%20 - spacebar in browser line.

Output is:
['Enter', 'your', 'text', 'here']
