Help with CGI functions on python.

Hi all....

i'm very new to this programming language. i'm required to fulfill this task in the company i'm doing my practical. i hope i can get guide for my problem...
Here is the script i already wrote but i'm having problem to move forward.

#!C:\python24\python.exe

####Code for viewing database....or search function#######

print 'Content-type: text/html\n\n'

import cgi # importing cgi module

import MySQLdb #importing MySQLdb module

form = cgi.FieldStorage() #assigning form to the cgi.FieldStorage

attribute = form.getvalue("attribute") #assigning attribute to get value from the function called attribute(drop down box) in the form

search = form.getvalue("search") #assigning search to get value from the function called search(textbox) in the form

conn =MySQLdb.connect(host = 'localhost', db='LESS', user ='root', passwd='') #creating conn to connect to MySQL

curs = conn.cursor() #creating a cursor called curs

curs.execute("use LESS") # exucuting the database

table = "download_file" #assignin table to download_file which is retrieved from MySql "less" under tables
#(download_file is a table name in less)

query = "select * from %s where %s like '%s'" %(table, attribute, search) #assigin query to MySQL command of select

#print query
curs.execute(query) #executing command set in the query function

count = curs.rowcount #indicating the cursor to count the rows

my problem is :

1. how do i assign each checkbox to have equal value with the value of the d_id?

2. when the checkbox is clicked or check and when the submit button is pressed, how can i produce a new page showin me all the d_id of the check box that is clicked?

3. this is somethin like email function. when the checkbox is checked and delete button is pressed, how do i remove the checked files from my database?

4. finally if the checked box is checked and the download button is pressed, how do i download that particular file into the assignned folder, in this case assignned folder is C:\temp. If multiple box are checked, the file should be zipped and download in the assignned folder. how could i reach to this?

please assist me to this. i also will attach a snapshot.

Actually the codes above is a cgi for this codes:
