No. The above code works with user-interation at certain points of the 
program. That can't be (easily, and especially not with the above 
functionality) translated into the http-paradigm where each operation is 
embedded into a request/resonse-cycle, with the need for explicit or 
implicit state-keeping over these cycles.

For this *trivial* example, I can only say: there isn't enough to be 
worth abstracting.

Google python + webframeworks to find a bazillion discussions, opinions, 
examples.
