I guess it executes it "like a real CGI script".   The code in "webdemo" 
never calls any of the html python pages.  webdemo starts a server on port 
1770, opens a browser to a page linking to a python html page, and waits for 
any calls to port 1770.  when the browser gets a call to port 1770, it can 
run a python script, and display the output, which could be formated html.
