I am trying write a script using python 3 httpd server. Unfortunately the documentation to that is very poor and the python forum has not been much help. Since my question is really about how data is send to the client I hope I can get some help here.

I have no trouble serving out the main page. The problem is how to serve out the embedded css and/or js files. I get the request for the files but I think my problem is I need to server them out with different headers than the main page. When the browser requests a css file, what does it expect to see as far as headers are concerned to know this is not a new page but rather the file requested? How do I know the difference between requests for a regular html page and a css or js page? It is just the file type? TIA.

Is there anyway to automatically do this so we can save time? Currently it is with separate headers for CSS / JS right?

if your file has the correct file ending apache will send the correct header. It is only necessary for dynamic generated files.
