1) this is not the way to get python to generate a web page, if you dont
want to use an existing framework (for example if you are doing this ans
an educational exercise) i suggest to google SWGI
2) you need to encode your output strings into a format apache/html
protocols can support - UTF8 is probably best here.
change your pint function to
print(line.encode('utf'),end='')
3) Ignore any subsequent advice from JMF even when he is trying to help
he is invariable wrong.
