*sigh*, sorry for the snarky answer.. but seriously ten minutes on google should answer all your questions. Meantime, for csv parsing you can use the csv module (http://docs.python.org/lib/module-csv.html); for generating HTML I recommend ElementTree (http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm) but there are lots of other packages that will do this too; as for windows server and python, I know nothing..; python comes with a web server (http://docs.python.org/lib/module-SimpleHTTPServer.html) but you'd probably want to use one of the aproximately dozen other python packages that have their own web server engine.. Zope, twisted, ... there are lots of them- search this news group, IIRC they've been mentioned recently. Google is your friend, Peace, ~Simon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
