This is probably not the best mmodel to use for what you are doing. If I understand correctly, you're trying to write a small, stand-alone, custom web server, that the user can click on, then interact with through the browser. Using the CGI approach is going to get you into the kind of troubles you're having. The alternative is to use a web application framework that serves up your web pages directly from Python, without starting up any scripts as separate processes. You could also write your own, but unless you goal is to learn to write web servers, use an existing framework, there are a LOT of them out there, and most of them provide a stand alone web server as an optional part of the package. Here's a few to check out: Webware Twisted CherryPy Turbo Gears (built on Cherry Pie) Django Quixote Any number of others! In my shop, we're currently using Quixote, and are just starting on a project much like yours. In our case, we need a full fledged web app, but also want a version that will run stand-alone on a non-networked machine. Rather than writing two interfaces, we're planning on embedding the we server in the app, and using the browser as the interface. I've got a tiny little demo using Quixote and SQLLite. It bundles up just fine with Py2app (and Py2exe on Windows), it looks like it's going to work great. I'd be glad to send it to you if you like.
