You can look in the server logs if you have them available.  If the
visitor supplied a referer value in the header, it will be in the log.
 You don't have any say in this from your end.

If you are the creator of your own website you might like to add
google analytics to your pages.  This is done with a little javascript
that google provides.

Although there may be a python angle to your question, it isn't apparent yet.
