Python Noob - a couple questions involving a web app

Bruno Desthuilliers, my dear, dear friend, there was this time, oh,

Thanks everyone!  Wow, pretty much a consensus - a rarity with these 
"types" of questions, at least in my experience.

Ok, sounds like I need to be looking at Django.  Thanks for the advice!
