Is there a poll script available in Python?

Can you be more specific? Are you talking about socket polling? Or a
web poll? Etc?

What do you mean by "poll"?
Do you mean "poll a file for changes", "poll a file handle for
readability/writability", "poll a socket", ..., "a web poll for taking
surveys",...?

I'm very interested in increasing the range of 'standard' CGI scripts
available in python. If you (or anyone else ?) wants help in writing a
simple one that could be used as a plugin to other webpages then
contact me and we'll work on it.

Here's some code (with organization-specific stuff replaced by
asterisks) that I wrote for polls that use ranked ballots:
# vote.cgi
#!/usr/bin/python
import os

print ' <p>%s</p>\n </body>\n</html>' % message
def ordinal(n):
if n == 1:
return str(n) + 'st'
if n == 2:
return str(n) + 'nd'
if n == 3:
return str(n) + 'rd'
if n < 20:
return str(n) + 'th'
return ordinal(n % 10)
def printBallot():
candidates = file('CANDIDATES').read().splitlines()
n = len(candidates)
print ' <form method="post" action="castvote.cgi" />'
print ' <table>'
print ' <tr>'
print ' <th>Candidate</th>'
for i in xrange(1, n + 1):
print ' <th>%s choice</th>' % ordinal(i)
print ' </tr>'
for (candidateNumber, candidateName) in enumerate(candidates):
print ' <tr>'
print ' <td class="candidate">%s</td>' %
candidateName
for i in xrange(1, n + 1):
print ' <td>'
print ' <input type="radio" name="rank-%d" '
\
'value="%d"' % (candidateNumber,
i),
if i == n:
print 'checked',
print '/>'
print ' </td>'
print ' </tr>'
print ' </table>'
print ' <p class="votesubmission">'
print ' <input type="submit" value="Submit Ballot" />'
print ' </p>'
print ' </form>'
print ' </body>'
print '</html>'
