Hi Matthew,
nice job! some parts really do look similar to my perl-code - same
problem generates similar programs…
I am able to read python-code, but have very little experience with the
language. That "whitespace has a meaning" thing from the first version
really kept me away…
My GGI-package goes a little further with automatic redirection:
* if the variable QUERY_STRING is not empty, it will print a temporary
re-direct with the content of tge query-string attached to the URL
into the PATH-component (PATH_INFO) and exit.
* This will change the url from for example:
gemini://server.domain/cgi-bin/man?grep to
gemini://server.domain/cgi-bin/man/grep, so that the next input can
be requested from the client without overwriting the first value
* All this happens transparent for the application without the
developer to re-implement that re-direct in each program.
My gemini-capsule is not yet officially on-line, but you can find the
GGI-package at gemini://h2903872.stratoserver.net/

In the hopes that you may find this useful, I have a light wrapper I use
to write CGIs for Molly Brown in Python. It has served me fairly well with
fairly complex CGIs.
Module:
gemini://going-flying.com/git/cgi/gemini.git/tree/master/cgi-bin/gmicgi/__init__.py
Some demo code:
gemini://going-flying.com/git/cgi/gemini.git/tree/master/cgi-bin/test
All the CGIs I have at the moment:
gemini://going-flying.com/git/cgi/gemini.git/tree/master/cgi-bin/
