The simplest way is with the cgi and CGIHTTPServer modules. You'd write your form in an html file, with the target set to a Python script that you'd write as a cgi. Then you'd write a trivial CGI HTTP server (look at the example code in the comments) with CGIHTTPServer. The user would point their browser at your server (you could make a desktop shortcut for that), the browser shows the html file, and the submit button sends the form contents to your cgi. This is very basic, old-school web programming, not as flexible or high-performance as using the fancy frameworks, but a lot simpler for limited applications like what you're describing. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
