import os

Look up the print_environ() function in the cgi-module for your python
version to give you an overview of available information.

Hmm. You can try HTTP_REFERER but it depends on several things (browser,
server, cgi-implementation etc.) wether this reports something useful or
not. It is probably more reliably to check REMOTE_ADDR if that would provide
enough information.
