Sure enough, clicking on the home page’s link runs the generate_list.py program on the web
server, which displays Coach Kelly’s athletes as a list of radio buttons.

Looking good…the web
page has been generated
correctly…

…and your web server logs
the web request to run
the “generate_list.py”
CGI script.

You can click the Home hyperlink to return to the coach’s home page, or
select an athlete from the list (by clicking on their radio-button), before
pressing the Select button to continue.

Select an athlete and press Select. What happens?
