how to capture post request in python script

Question

I'm making an application which sends an POST request using ajax to a python script. I'm new to python and doesn't know much about it. As in PHP we do something like this to get a value from post request.

$val = $_POST['data'];

How to do this in python? any help would be appreciated. Thanks

i searched. But didn't found anything useful. can you share any URL please? — Asad ullah, Nov 02 '17 at 18:25

You can get that using raw cgi

For example:

import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
print form["username"]

Everything is explained really well here
