You could have a look at "pydoc" ("the Python documentation tool").

As the name indicates, it is for documentation not for the
execution of funtions (which may be **VERY** dangerous).
But it can show you how to integrate an HTTP server
and how to use Python's `inpect` module to determine
function signatures.
You would need to create the forms yourself and the function
execution actions (and again: executing arbitrary functions is
really dangerous -- do not do it!).
