Good job for javascript and Aja[xj]
Submit the form via something like jQuery and instantly popup a div saying 
things are underway. Then you can use a timed javascript function to pull the 
status from the server.

But this does keep the webserver busy in a loop - and perhaps forking it all 
out to a cronjob and another Python instance is better. That stuff is also 
vague to me.
