If your want to write a basic/low-level HTTP server: http://docs.python.org/library/basehttpserver.html Looks like you'd use HTTPServer and a custom subclass of BaseHTTPRequestHandler. If you want to write at the slightly higher WSGI (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/) level of abstraction, you can have your WSGI application run by a simple Python HTTP server such as: http://pythonpaste.org/modules/httpserver.html As Alex said, SQLite is in the std lib: http://docs.python.org/library/sqlite3 Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
