Thaks both u guys

I find a way to do my work ,but i found a basic webserver is really
necessary.

First,i use webbrowser,Steven recommend,to call the browser open a
html file,my gui,in this html file i make a form and submit a GET
request with the paraments i need

second, i use BaseHTTPServer, to handle the GET request,parse the
request get the paraments i need,
and use these parament to finish my logic

thrid, use BaseHTTPServer make a response to the browser with a
formated html file with my result.

It's not complex like i think,because the BaseHTTPServer is not
complex

Thanks DaveA,a webserver,like you said,is a necessary,&Steven, your
webbrowser.
