Pretty much every webserver ever written allows you to run a script in

closely with the language of your choice and do all the heavy lifting
for you.
If fact, the problem is really too much choice, here's a list of
frameworks from the Python wiki:

Yep.. that's exactly the problem... So I was consulting the hivemind
here... we tend to be building little widgets that are more than a
blinky light, but also aren't serving airline reservation systems.
If you want lots of functionality then head for the top of the list, but
these are overkill for what you are trying to do.
Scroll down to the 'Non Full Stack Frameworks' and pick one that makes
sense to you. These should all allow you to route a URL to some Python
code, and the process should be simple enough that if you spend more
than 15 mins to get an example up and running then just ditch it and
move on to the next one.
That's where I am...
flask does reasonably good..
I haven't tried firing off a second thread yet..
One caveat, if you are planning to put this on the public internet then
it's a very good idea to proxy the service behind a 'full-fat' webserver
(e.g. apache) that can safely manage access, load, security etc. I
wouldn't expose a BBB directly to the Internet, especially one that is
controlling expensive physical things.
Nope.. just local access from *my* phone on *my* network
And the hardware isn't breakable(!) at least not by anything that any
of the processors can do.
