Got it - I think :)

# Create a link that passes the value of `variable' to script.py via 
# the id parameter.  You may want to escape `variable' somehow
# in case it contains spaces or something else that isn't valid.
print '<a href=script.py?id="%s"> some text </a>'  % variable

# Create a hidden input variable named `eventid' that contains a value of
# `variable_name'
print '<input type=hidden name="eventid" value="%s">' % variable_name
