Well, the script did seem to run, but I'm still not sure if this is what 
I'm ultimately after. This allows me to run Python script files, which 
is good, but what I really want to do is write bits of Python code in my 
HTML files (as a means to include headers and footers, for example). So 
these bits of Python code will basically be like a PHP include() 
function that calls another HTML file which contains the header/footer 
HTML to insert into the calling file. This type of situation doesn't 
involve calling external Python scripts.

Maybe I can just try this also and see if it works, but I don't know the 
code to use to write such an include statement. What would the 
equivalent of this be in Python:

<?php include('file.html'); ?>

Thanks.
