There are several choices :

    Traditional CGI :
        same as writing Perl, but the code is much more readable ;-)


    PyHTML :
        write code like this (indentation is significant, no closing
        tags needed -- the dedent fills it in automatically)

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        <HTML>
            <BODY>
                <PRE>
                    data = open( "some_file" , "r" )
                    for line in data.readlines() :
                        print data , "<br>"
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    
    Zope (DTML) :
        
        you write various code-like tags that can integrate with other
        python code, etc.

        This looks quite interesting and I am just starting to
        investigate it.
