Ken:

The problem seems to be that you are attempting a change of language (C++ to
Python) at the same time as a change of environment (desktop to web). You do
need to understand a little more about web communications mechanisms as
well.

There are books that could help you <shameless plug>(see the pydish link
below, for example)</shameless plug>, but what you probably need is a good
long look at the CGI module and a few examples of dynamic web code in
Python.

regards
 Steve
