I don't know of a way to run Python from within a web page. But if you want to fetch an HTML page from a server and work with it (for example a web-scraping app), many people use BeautifulSoup for this. If you have well-formed HTML or XHTML you can use an XML parser as well but BS has the advantage of coping with badly-formed HTML. http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/ Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
