How can I make a Python program do the server-side processing on my Raspberry Pi 3?

Question

I've heard that this is possible and I want to try it.

You can at least do it through the use of web server frameworks, such as Django, Flask, Bottle (from the biggest to the most minimalistic) which handle web request (http) in a (relatively ;)) simple way... I would advise to start with Bottle, wich is the most basic and lightest one (and run even on android QPython), and should be enough to just do ww server-side provessing >> (no need for stuff to handle high level backends, templating... and so more, and you could ever install some missing functionality with standalone modules that are integrated in biggest frameworks ^^)
