So now that I have my Python program searching the way I want. I need to be able to use it on the web. Which reminded me of a silly little Python 2 program I wrote a long time ago that I had on my site at one time. The program is called bigNum.py and can be accessed here . It maybe silly but also interesting because it tells you how to pronounce very large numbers. For my search program, this program is a good reference, because it's simple, it doesn't use any complicated web framework. It only uses cgi (hopefully available in Python 3) to get the input from the form. I just manually write out HTML. No PHP needed!
