Python in web development

[Michael Herman]

If Python is your personal choice, then it's the *best* for you. If
you are literally just going to be processing an HTML form, then CGI
is your best bet. However, if you think this functionally will grow,
then it's worth learning a web framework.

I would go with a micro framework. bottle.py is a perfect starting
point. I am a huge Flask fan, but it's a little higher level. I have
tutorials here for Flask -

Also, check out realpythonfortheweb.com for more tutorials.

Good luck! :)
