<a href="SampleWeb.py" type="text/html">Sample Holdings</a>
What is the syntax to send a single string parameter.
Would it be like a GET
<a href="SampleWeb.py?acct=9EK2De33" type="text/html">Sample Holdings</a>
Can it be a single value and not a key pair?
On the Python side would it be argv[1] as the receiving variable?

syntax for passing a parameter to a Python script from IIS html web page

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.
