Yup, works quite nicely.
you use the cgi module and make sure (if you use apache) that its module is enabled in your /etc/http.conf

does great !

I am a novice python programmer, but do not know anything about web programming. When you say using the cgi module, does that mean you do not use html, or do you use python(cgi) in place of php?

yes, you use the python script in your cgi folder.

here is an excellent tutorial here
that will get you started.

first off though, you must have the python module cgi installed and have it load when your server starts.

if you could, please let me know what distrobution of linux or unix you are using, and which web server you are using and we can help you out even more.

good luck!
