Opening and editing a html page with python.

Asked by kimhand in Python Scripting Language, CGI Scripting

I need a cgi script that reads an html file that i already wrote and replaces the word #ME# with my name, the word #DATE# with today's date, and the word #quote# with a random quote from a text file I have made with quotes. the quote will change each time it runs.
1. My program needs to output this exact line first - note a
blank line
after the words that follow
Content-type: text/html
When my program runs it must do the following, and then print out
the results.
I have a file called quotes.txt. that has 31 quotes,
each on a line by itself.
I have this so far and I am stuck
