copied!<p>If you are creating non-interactive pages, you can easily setup any modern web server to execute your python script as a CGI. Instead of loading a static file, your web server will return the output of your python script. </p> <p>This isn't very sophisticated, but if you are simply returning the output without needing browser submitted date, this is the easiest way (scaling under load is a different story). </p> <p>You don't even need the "cgi" module from python, if you aren't receiving any data from the browser. Anything more complicated than this and you should use a web framework.</p> <p><strong>Examples and other methods</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/34319-apache-web-server-cgi" rel="noreferrer">Simple Example</a>: hardest part is webserver configuration</li> <li><a href="http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/34319-apache-web-server-cgi" rel="noreferrer">mod_python</a>: Cut down on CGI overhead (otherwise, apache execs the python interpreter for each hit)</li> <li><a href="http://docs.python.org/library/cgi.html" rel="noreferrer">python module cgi</a>: sending data to your python script from the browser.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Sorting</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/" rel="noreferrer">Javascript side sorting</a>: I've used this javascript library to add sortable tables.
