I wonder if there is a way for Python to read directly the user input of a HTML form?

You can use the cgi module.

There is an example of exactly that at:

You should probably read the whole article:

A good place to start for these topics:

http://www.python.org/topics/web/basic-cgi.html

Specifically cgi.FieldStorage(). This returns a dictionary of values 
that have been passed by a form.
