Newbie question, python code <-> web formulare

[Ben Thursfield]

Hi!

I've been programming a bit in python for a few days now, und I'm now at
the point where I want to embed my Python code into my webpage somehow.
For example I'm connecting to my mailserver using the socket lib and I
want to be able to transfer data between the python program and a web
formulare (e.g. login+pass). I don't know how to manage that though. I
manage it when i do it locally but i don't know how to get my webhost to
run the python programm so i can communicate with it.
Is this possible at all? Can I use Python in a PHP manner?

Sorry for my bad english..
