Its a snap in all python based web apps I ever saw. You didn't tell us
what you actually using so we can't say. Also there is no notation
of "url beeing viewed" in HTTP if you are looking from server's point of
view. There is a request for an URI and a host where the request is
directed at then then the server decides to publish a resource based
on whatever rules. If that publishing results in a call to your python
script (or the script itself is the server) then you would deal with
whatever interface API you decided to use gives you.

Ah and last not least you can even use python in ASP (look for scripting
host) but's not a route to take these days :-) (You really want no
inline code but a decent templating engine like PageTemplates (TAL))
