I would be thankful for any > push to the right direction. You'll be reinventing quite a few wheels if you work at such a low level of abstraction. Have you considered using a web framework? Django (http://www.djangoproject.com/ ) is one of the popular ones, though there are a myriad of options (http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks ). I would recommend learning Python first and then a web framework, rather than trying to learn both in tandem.
