There are various ways you can do this, each of which depends on having
a particular framework in place. Since your web service provider tells
you that mod_python is available it's likely that you'll be able to use
PSP (one of several beasts known as "Python Server Pages").
This is briefly described (for a flavor of the technology) in
http://www.python.org/pycon/dc2004/papers/14/
by the author of mod_python. If you like what you see then take a look
at the full mod_python documentation, at
http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/
Note that purists might suggest this isn't the best way to use Python on
the web. If it gets you where you want to be, feel free to ignore them :-)
