You could do this quite easily with CherryPy:


    import cherrypy

    class WebApp(object):
        def calc(self, a, b):
            c = int(a) + int(b)
            return str(c)
        calc.exposed = True

    cherrypy.quickstart(WebApp())

This can be called via '/calc/1/2' or 'calc?a=1&b=2'. You can add a
method to provide a form and another to produce a pretty output and
it's good to go.
