Thats the most common use of CGI but really a form submission is just a standard HTTP GET/POST request with some predefined variables. In reality the user requests your python script and whatever the script sends to stdout goes to the browser So all you have to do is read in your header, body and footer and stitch them together then send them to stdout. If you want richer functionality you can use templating engines from the frameworks without the framework being present. For example the kid system used in TurboGears can be used standalone to give sophistoicated templating without anything special being done to the web server. Indeed it can even be used outside a web server context. But from your description simple CGI and Python may be all you need.
