This matches pretty much what I've decided to do. I'll start with cgi and CGIHTTPServer because I'll learn more from that and then move to a framework, quite likely CherryPy, although by that time I may change my choice. Philip Greenspun's book looks good and I'll have to go through it. Thanks for the advice. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
