It's a little more complicated than that. Apart from anything else, it
depends on the web server you are using.

Generally speaking you will have, or be able to create, a /cgi-bin
directory, and code from there should execute. You may also have to
condition your server to understand that Python files are executable. There
are many laternatives to this simple set-up, however, and you might consider
getting a book or some web articles that tell you more about the web
client/server interaction.

If your web provider is helpful they may assist you, otherwise (for the
majority of web houses) you might need a little more help from this group.
You will almost certainly be tangling with the cgi module soon...
