Thank you. I have taken note of your example, will study the documentation
and see what I can make of it.

py = python, I presume. I don't know python.

I'm not worried about security in that sense. My computer faces whoever
sits in front of it, no internet connection at all - no network card, not
even a modem. I don't like webmin because of the bug that causes it to
take all the memory and crash. It occurs to me that maybe I could turn
off swap when using it, which would at least make it crash rapidly, but
I think it would be better if I learnt what I was doing and did the
configuration manually.
