Any web application language will allow you to generate the form HTML 
and process the submitted form in the same script by using it as the 
form's action. A common approach is to act on submitted form variables 
or present an empty form if they are not there.

In pseudo code:

if req.form.has_key('foo'):
     process_form
else:
     show_empty_form

mod_python does not include any tools to build forms, which are merely 
strings of HTML. You can generate your own HTML, or find a python 
library that offers this functionality.
