This question might sound a bit odd to the people hanging out here, but i am just trying to start learning server side programming

Is it possible to run a python script directly in a Nginx server just by replacing 

root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index index.py; // instead of index.html index.htm

I tried running the same, but no result. All i was trying is to get the post data of the request and print it on a web-page.

I have searched a bit on google and found how to run python script using uWSGI and Ngnix - link. I will defiantly go ahead and try this one, but it would be really nice, if some one can clear my doubt.

Thanks in advance.

Noap, you cant run python scripts by replacing the index.html. Doing so, you are serving a python file to the client/web-browser where he doesnt know how to interpret it.

As you correctly stated, you may use uWSGI in order to execute python scripts on your server.
