Python CGI Programming : What is CGI and Web Browsing :
CGI Programming :
CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface. This interface is used by web servers to process information requests supplied by a browser. Python has modules to allow programs to do this work. The convention used by many servers is to have the server programs that satisfy this interface end in ‘.cgi’. That is the convention used below. All files below ending in ‘.cgi’ are CGI programs on a web server, and in this chapter, they will all be Python programs (though there are many other languages in use for this purpose). These programs are often called scripts, so we will be dealing with Python CGI scripts.

Web Browsing :
A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for retrieving, presenting and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI/URL) that may be a web page, image, video or other piece of content.[1] Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related resources.
