Python help.

I use the following code in a cgi file
to give the client a download link to 
download a file.

---

print "%s" % ('<a href = "Setup.zip"> Down 
Load </a>')

----

A click on "Down Load" opens a pop up browser 
window which allows the user to choose where 
to download the "Setup.zip" file, then after 
the download, the pop up window closes.

My problem is that I want the cgi form, which 
contains the link, to also close after the 
download.  The only way I can figure out to 
close the cgi window is to give the user a 
button to close it.  

Without closing it, the client can download 
again and forever if they choose to because 
the cgi window is open and the link is still 
active. 

I am trying to find a way to close the cgi 
file or call another file after the download 
without adding a close button and asking the 
client to close the window.
