Description

Provides the legacy CGI and cgitb modules for Python projects that still depend on them after their standard-library deprecation. It helps older web or compatibility code keep running while migration is planned.

CGI is an old web execution model with security pitfalls. New projects should prefer modern web frameworks, and existing CGI code should be reviewed for input handling and server isolation.
