Kiran, Thanks for the response. I'm extremely new to any sort of web programming. I have a bit of Python experience. Unfortunately the response above was simply above my head. I've written file parsers in Python so I can handle that. I'm confident I can write the algorithms too. What I can't figure out is how to integrate a plotting utility like Bokeh or possibly MPLD3 (http://mpld3.github.io/index.html) into Web2py and get the plot to show up in a Web2py created page. I've seen a few examples of how to trigger a browser's file dialog, but don't know how to use that to get a file into the Python parsing script. I'm usually pretty good at finding resources on the web, but my general knowledge of web technologies is a problem.
