[Tutor] How to Create Webpage with Python

[John Cast]

Thanks everyone again for the great support.

Right now I have a very basic server running using the http module (I'm
using python 3).  My next step is to generating the HTML pages so that the
formatting of the excel docs stays pretty much the same except that it gets
shown on the web.

For future reference (assuming everything else goes well) how do I procure
a more permanent server (i.e. one that doesn't run on my machine so that I
can turn it off and still be able to visit my pages)?  I'm hearing Apache
and so forth being thrown around (I've read up a little on it) but it seems
those would still run on my local computer.
What am I missing?

I'll keep everyone posted on how the excel parsing turns out.

Thanks again
