Is there a way to do this with python?
That's less a python-specific question. The general solution is to store the information on your server and remember who the user was. Many web programmers use a cookie based authentication/identification with a database backend. Which means: - User comes to your website - You send the user a cookie - You create an entry in your database with that cookie - User enters data - You add the data to the database (referring to the cookie) - User comes back later - You can look up the data in your database according to the user's cookie I use that scheme in a more complex way for cookie based authentication (http://workaround.org/pysessions).
