cgi script can't get html form fields

Question

I have WAMP server set up for python cgi. But, I couldn't grab values from html form. I have marked where I get the error in python file. If I remove that line error goes.

HTML:

<body>

<h1>Fill out this form</h1>

<form action="test.py" method="POST">
     Enter your name: <input type="text" name="name">
     Enter age: <input type="text" name="age">

     <input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

</body>

test.py:

#!C:\Python34\python

import cgitb
import cgi


form = cgi.FieldStorage()

print("""
<h1>Thanks for registering</h1>
""")

print("<p> form["name"].value")  # <--- If i remove this line the error goes

Error:

Answer 1

It's a syntax error. From this line:

print("<p> form["name"].value")

The string that's being printed is getting terminated early. Change it to:

print("<p>" + form["name"].value + "</p>")
