[Tutor] update html pages using python

[pedro]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as 
far as the best way to use python to update html. Specifically, I have 
a python script which coordinates the rendering of image sequences to 
disk (rendered from Nuke, the compositing program) and also automates 
the creation of Quicktime movies based on these sequences. Added on to 
the end of this program, I would like to have a function which updates 
a cell in a table on a webpage to change the status of the shot from 
"in progress" to "new version ready for review". I have a reasonable 
understanding of text file reading, writing and parsing, but I was 
wondering if there is a module or some such thing that handles this 
kind of thing well. Ultimately I want to set up a page with a table of 
thumbnail images corresponding to sequences each with their own colour 
coding indicating status.
Thanks for any help
Pete
