It is very easy to use FCKeditor in your Python web pages. To start the integration follow the instructions below.

Integration step by step
Step 1
Ensure that the fckeditor.py is included in your classpath. Then, at first, import FCKeditor:
import fckeditor
Step 2
Now the FCKeditor is available and ready to use. So, just insert the following code in your page to create an instance of the editor inside a <FORM>:
try:
sBasePath = os.environ.get("SCRIPT_NAME")
sBasePath = sBasePath["/fckeditor/"]
oFCKeditor = fckeditor.FCKeditor('FCKeditor1')
oFCKeditor.BasePath = sBasePath
oFCKeditor.Value = """<p>This is some <strong>sample text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>"""
print oFCKeditor.Create()
except Exception, e:
print e
print """
Step 3
The editor is now ready to be used. Just open the page in your browser to see it at work.

import os
# Ensure that the fckeditor.py is included in your classpath
import fckeditor

# This is the real work
try:
sBasePath = os.environ.get("SCRIPT_NAME")
sBasePath = sBasePath[0:sBasePath.find("_samples")]
oFCKeditor = fckeditor.FCKeditor('FCKeditor1')
oFCKeditor.BasePath = sBasePath
oFCKeditor.Value = """<p>This is some <strong>sample text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>"""
print oFCKeditor.Create()
except Exception, e:
print e
print """

<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
"""
# For testing your environments
print "<hr>"
for key in os.environ.keys():
print "%s: %s<br>" % (key, os.environ.get(key, ""))
print "<hr>"
# Document footer
print """
</body>

"""
"FCKeditor1" is the name used to post the editor data on forms.
