Install WAMP server to run python

 Install WAMP + PYTHON Integration

I'd be glad to assist you with installing WAMP server to run Python. However, it's important to note that WAMP is primarily designed for running PHP applications, and Python typically has its own dedicated environments like Anaconda or virtual environments.

Important Considerations:

  • WAMP's Primary Purpose: WAMP is primarily designed for running PHP applications. Using it for Python might not be the most optimal or efficient approach.
  • Dedicated Python Environments: For dedicated Python development, consider using Python-specific environments like Anaconda or virtual environments. These environments provide better control over Python versions and packages.
  • Web Framework Choice: If you need to run Python web applications, carefully evaluate the features and requirements of different web frameworks to choose the best one for your project.

How to set up wamp to run Python programs and php on your own computer. SQL works also. Only tested on windows 10.All programs can be run through localhost in browser and files stored in www directory in wamp.
Wamp Version 3.0.6
Python.3.9.1
Link to Python
https://www.python.org/downloads/ Link to Wamp http://www.wampserver.com/en/download... Should be the same versions as mine in order to work. Make sure to save Python as C:\Python3.9.1 using custom installation. First line of your program must direct to where python.exe is installed. Mine is #!C:\Python3.9.1/python.exe .You must use parenthesis with print. Instructions: __________________________________________________________________ 1.Install wamp and python, make sure to remember the location where everything is installed.Mine are in 1 folder. 2.When both are installed, run wamp. 3.Go to wamp icon in tray, apache,httpd.conf. 4.Open the httpd.conf file. 5.In (Directoy /) change require all denied to require all granted. 6. Look for Options +Indexes +FollowSynsLinks........ and add +ExecCGI to that line. 7.Look for AddHandler cgi-script .cgi and add .py to it 8.Restart wamp 9.Go to www folder located in wamp where you installed yours. 10.Add files you want to run to that www folder. 11.I have two test files which you can add if needed. 12. open a browser, type localhost and go to it. This is your homepage. 13. To run your files type localhost/ enter in name of file. eg localhost/hello.py 14. That's it, it should work. Just make sure to have correct shebang on top of python files which shows the location of where python.exe is.

Mine is #!C:/Python3.9.1/python.exe
15. You now should add passwords and run it offline if needed. Python test program :

#!C:/Python3.9.1/python.exe
print("content-type: text/html\n\n" )
print("<br><B>hello python</B>")

Using a Web Framework with Python Support:

  • Choose a Framework: Select a web framework that supports Python, such as Django or Flask.
  • Install the Framework: Follow the framework's installation instructions.
  • Create a Project: Use the framework's tools to create a new project.
  • Run the Project: Start the development server using the framework's command-line tools. You can then access your Python application through a web browser.
By following these steps and considering the specific requirements of your project, you can effectively set up a Python environment within WAMP or explore alternative options for dedicated Python development.
