While it's been coming for a long time, it's still frustrating to see the cgi module go. It's going to create a load of busy work to rewrite some low-traffic scripts.

  Thanks. I did ctrl-f cgi as I knew its removal was coming and missed the heading. So one more point release of grace, but it's still coming soon.

There is CGIHandler that ships with python. Not many examples that are simple, so... #!/usr/bin/env python from wsgiref.handlers import CGIHandler def app(environ, start_response): start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/html')]) return [ b"<html><head><title>foo</title></head><body>bar</body></html>" ] if __name__ == '__main__': CGIHandler().run(app)

Just copy out cgi.py and use it as a module. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.11/Lib/cgi.py https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.11/Lib/cgi.py
