Well, not wrong but perhaps not phrasing your original question
correctly.

That's the normal way to run Python on the web.  You store your Python
(or Perl or PHP or compiled C) programs on a web server that offers
Python <PLUG TYPE="blatant">http://www.Vex.Net/</PLUG> and when someone
clicks on the link the server runs them and presents the results.  This
is different than something like Java or Javascript that runs in the
browser.

If that still doesn't answer your question then perhaps you can try to
clarify exactly what it is you are trying to do.
