there is a python cgi module, 'import cgi', there is also a python apache
module.

For almost all cases, if you can do it in perl it can be done in python and
vice versa.  That is the point of a general purpose programming language -- you
can write arbitrary programs in it.  The difference is simply choice and
learning the idioms of the language.

As we tell every other new poster to the list, read www.python.org.  It has
tutorials, docs, other lists, etc.
