Typically, people developing web applications use a framework such as Django or TurboGears (or web.py or CherryPy or any of a dozen others) rather than just having the CGI scripts print stuff out. Rather than having your Python script just print out a page, you make a template and then have a templating engine fill in the blanks with the values you provide. They'll also protect you from things like Injection attacks and cross-site scripting (if you don't know what those are, you're probably vulnerable to them). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
