Thanks, that makes much more sense to me now. But does this mean I can 
still write HTML normally? What would an example be of having HTML 
within a Python script? I have a hard time picturing this, because I 
imagine that most of my pages will be almost all HTML, with just a bit 
of Python here and there, perhaps to insert headers and footers. Is all 
the HTML just wrapped in a big print statement, or something like that?
