HTML embeded with python

[Derek Lavine]

Hi all,

I am very new to python, in fact I have only just picked up my first 
book. I am thinking of using python for web apps and was just wondering 
if there are any modules out there that make it possible to embed python 
in the HTML pages so that one can easily build web pages based on the 
result of database queries and things like that.

I have used coldFusion quite a bit and it of course makes this sort of 
thing very easy. I know there are solutions of this type in perl but 
since I am keen to use python in this context (initially as a means to 
get acquainted with the language) I thought I would ask them that are in 
the know.

Thanks for any pointers or suggestions

Derek
