Run python scripts from web
Hello everyone,
I have some python scripts that I need people can execute via web, passing some variables to the script with a form.
Any idea? something where to start, I am so lost with this.
For example, a telnet script to enters a router and change some stuff.
What I need is a webpage with a form, where the user can pass some variables to the script, send the form, execute the script described above and show some output.
Its possible using only python? I dont want to use php in the web, I just want to use python.
any help is welcome thank you guys : )

As of 21:34 Eastern on Sunday, this thread has 5 comments - all answers are valid. 4 of them have been down voted though, with no explanation of why they were down voted. Who ever down voted them- Can you EXPLAIN why you're down voting them?
My post describes infrastructure I'm presently deploying. It works- amazingly. I even said at the top that it was probably too complex for what the user was asking, but since there was no requirements listed by the op I posted it anyway, in case he/she needed something that needed significant throughput.
/u/feuermelder suggested doing it in CGI- a valid alternative, depending on the code that's being executed.
/u/ggtsu_00 even posted CODE.
So, insightful downvoter- care to identify where the problem is here?
