Browser front-end, python back-end

[Jeff Hinrichs]

twisted.
http://www.twistedmatrix.com/

I use it to build portable, lightweight, browser based apps.  Good success,
decent example code. More robust, IMO, than CGIHTTPserver.

example of killing the server from the browser:
#
# stop.rpy - kill a twisted web server
# $Id: stop.rpy 30 2003-01-04 05:58:27Z JeffH $
#
from twisted.web import resource
from twisted.internet import reactor
class myResource(resource.Resource):
    def render(self, request):
        reactor.stop()
        return ""

resource = myResource()

have fun!
