1. Try re-naming the files to real utf-8.  Make sure your terminal
works on UTF-8 characters.
2. Get rid of your bullshit system and use Flask or Pyramid.  It will
make your life much easier.
3. Put the files in a directory on your server and tell Apache to
create an index, making your life easier, but not as easy as it would
if you did (2) and anywhere near as easy as (2) and (3) combined.
