I've used matplotlib to dynamically create and display charts on a web
page. There are also some interesting JavaScript chart packages.
smtplib (in the Python lib) can send your emails.

I would start out putting it in the server and change it if there are
performance problems.

Depending on how complex your HTML is, you might want to use one of
the template libraries - Mako, Genshi, Jinja, Kid, Cheetah, ... I
can't recommend a specific one.
