From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki

This form takes a name and a message as its input and uses Prowl [1] and Prowlpy [2] to send the message to my iPhone.

You'll find an active version of the form over here.

message.cgi

#!/usr/bin/env python
#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-

import cgi
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
query = cgi.FieldStorage()
msg = query.getvalue("msg", "") #getvalue is both GET and POST ($_REQUEST in PHP)
usr = query.getvalue("usr", "") #getvalue is both GET and POST ($_REQUEST in PHP)

#if a message and username have been found, the form was filled so import the Prowl library and send the message
if msg!="your message" and msg!="" and usr!="your name" and usr!="":
    import prowlpy
    apikey = '1234512345123451234512345123451234512345' #needs a valid Prowl API key, which you can generate on the website
    p = prowlpy.Prowl(apikey)
    try:
        p.add('CGI',usr,msg, 1, None)
        print "Location: done.cgi\n\n"; #landing page for successful sending
    except Exception,msg:
        print "Location: fail.cgi\n\n"; #landing page for failures :(

else: #the form wasn't filled (correctly) so show it (again)
    print "Content-type: text/html"
