You should take a look at for the screen-scraping part:

To put them in your html page all you need to do is to have some
placeholders in your html and use python to replace the placeholders
with the values you get from the other screen.

The tricky bit is parsing HTML. Chances are good that what you want
for that is BeautifulSoup:

Take a look at the examples there and then feel free to ask more
questions.
