You know, this was exactly what I was doing (ie. separate folders for
the html, css etc. files) and it didn't work. Just tried again, and
it still doesn't work!
The Python py file is in the same folder as the main html file. The
main html file has the proper link to the css file ie. <link
type='text/css' rel='stylesheet' href='static/css/mainstyle.css' />
The " print open('index.html').read() " statement displays the
index.html page but NOT as defined by the css.
Uhmmm!
