I am new to Python, as said in an earlier post.

I am trying to create a template using Python which interacts with an HTML web form. I don't know how to direct the "submit" button to start running Python code. And when I do, how would Python know what the user typed in? I have been really stuck on this a long time and have the feeling like Python is not capable of handling this, but that can't be right because Python is used by many to build web pages..

No, I am not looking for a PHP script to make this happen. There are 10 million web pages for how to make a form in PHP and none that I can find which help you to do it in Python.

You can just code directly inside of the HTML editor, I believe.

Code: 
<%@LANGUAGE=Python%>
    <html>
        <head>
        </head>
        <body>
        <h1>
            Python Test
        </h1>
        <%
            Response.Write('Python Test<br>')
            Response.write('<h3>Smaller heading</hr>')
        %>
        </body>
    </html>

That's ASP <.<
There are normally frameworks to do web development with desktop programming languages, such as Ruby on Rails. Check this page for more info: http://www.fredshack.com/docs/pythonweb.html

You can also create a localhost server in Python, capable of running Python-based CGI scripts.

I believe the modues are SimpleHTTPServer and SimpleCGIServer.
