Unfortunately, due to security problems, only a single machine in our
network can be used as a web server, and only the sysadmin (who is not
a Python user) has this level of access.  We mere users are only allowed
to post HTML and simple CGIs.  We don't even have a public ftp area!
A bit paranoid, but unfortunately I don't make the rules....
