To explain, I am basically doing different algorithms and would like to make them work and be accessible as I mentioned in the example... and to add them to the functionality of a specific page... so I have experience in programming, just no experience in web development etc..

I understand how the lack of knowledge on my part can cause the unclarity of my question.
I will give you an example. So let us say I create two simple python scripts, one does the sum of two numbers
the other one does the multiplication. SO now I want to put these scripts on the server. Now let us say there is a web page that would like to use these scripts (do this calculation). How do I do a "program" that will listen for the requests
from the web page and call the scripts on the request?

all the tutorials about flask are dealing wit creating the whole webpage in python. I do not need to do that, I just need a service on the servers end.. is flask still the way to go? Also flask does not support Python 3.x jet, would using cherryPy be a good idea?

Thank you for the answers!
