It is not really that hard to set up a local server with CGI or LAMP, if
you feel you really *must* use a local html file.
On the other hand, Python comes with Tk and has hooks to other
easy to use GUI packages, which might make more sense to use locally.
Perl and Ruby have similar hooks. Is there anything really magic
about an html file for your uses?
