Running Python scripts on a server?

Question

How would I run a python script on my site? I wrote a script that takes values (the values should come from a form that the end user fills out) and then returns a string.

What would I need to add to the submit form to make the script run with the values?

Is this possible or should I be using PHP? (The script involved web scraping, so I'm not sure if Python or PHP is better or what would allow for more flexibility)

Thanks!

Your site needs to allow python cgi scripting.
