You've got CGI variables at your disposal, when the URL is called. Provided that the username will equal the path name in every case
You can use cgi.PATH_INFO and extrapolate the username from the path, and run your queries accordingly.

The replicated site is really no more than each person having a separate URL that is defined by the username they put in when they sign up- everyone's site is exactly the same otherwise. For example, if I signed up for the program with a username of "jessica" my replicated website's address would be" "http://www.sample.com/jessica";. I do not want to have to create a separate folder & index page for each & every person who signs up, because that seems like it would be kind of ridiculous & waste a lot of space, so how can I (firstly) trick the server into believing there is a separate page for each person even without a folder with their username existing in my directory? Second, and I guess this question could be answered by the first, how can I get that username to be pulled from the URL for use in dynamic queries and the like. -More or less, I am just wanting to somehow convert a query string such as "http://www.sample.com?username=jessica"; into the more user-friendly "http://www.sample.com/jessica";. I think i am making this harder than it really is.. hopefully I have made this clear enough to understand, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
