The easiest way is to write an HTTP server (Python has some tools that
will make this easy) and use an HTML form, which can do file uploads
as well as accept keyed-in code.

However, you will run into some fairly major security issues. You're
accepting code across the internet and running it. Python does not
protect you against malicious users reading files from your hard disk
or, worse, modifying those files. This sort of thing can ONLY be used
in a trusted environment - a local network on which you know
everything that's happening.
