Don’t use http.server. Don’t use CGI. This is not how things work in Python.

In Python, you should use a web framework to write your code. Web
frameworks include Flask, Django, Pyramid… Find one that’s popular and
that you like, and learn that. You won’t have any `.py` URLs, instead
you will have modern pretty URLs with no extensions. And a lot of
things will be abstracted — no manual header creation, help with safe
forms and databases.

And then you will need to figure out how to run it. I personally use
nginx and uwsgi for this, you may need to look for something else.

Examples for Django:
