If you want existing links to continue to work, you can simply place HTML redirects in the current HTML files, so that they invoke the proper Python CGI script, i.e. somepage.html should contain a redirect to /my_cgi.py?page=somepage I've roughly described in a previous posting how my_cgi.py should work. Just let it suck in the file with the 'somepage' content, and add the header and footer stuff. You'll find Python CGI tutorials on the net, and the library reference chapters on cgi and cgitb will also help. Start by enabling cgitb... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
