HTTP Client = web browser. HTTP Server = the server, You'll probably want to use a framework like Django to help you with this- this is exactly what they were designed to do. What the frameworks do is let you map URLs to functions. Your form data will get sent to the server in a POST request, and the framework will hand that to your function as arguments. Then, your function will generate the web page (often using a template where you just fill in the blanks) and send that back to the browser. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
