Not ever even tried to do any Web-oriented stuff with Python, how
would you do the typically simple 'form 1 - display text boxes and a

For a more PHP/ASP way, we use an Apache module called mod_python. It
embeds the Python interpreter inside the Apache server.
http://www.modpython.org/
Requirements are Apache, Python, mod_python and a little tweaking to the
httpd.conf. I know at least some of the Python web frameworks, use
mod_python underneath. Django and CherryPy to name two. We just use
mod_python by itself.
Here is some sampe code from a webmail client we did just as a proof of
concept type thing. This HTML page is sent one parameter called
"boxes". The embedded python code just loops through it and prints
out it's contents
<HTML>
<FORM ACTION="mail_folders_refresh" METHOD="post">
<%
for box in boxes:
justbox = box.split("(")[0]
s = """<a id="%s" href="javascript:go_box('%s')">%s</a>
""" % (justbox, justbox, box)
s1 = """ <a href="javascript:compact_box('%s')">X</a><br>
""" % (justbox)
req.write(s+s1)
%>
