The most all-encompassing Python web framework I know of is Turbogears. It handles Javascript, your database, and everything in between; CherryPy is its built-in server. The setup script for it is kind of horrifying, on account of the huge number of separate packages it grabs from around the Internet, but it's still a popular framework. I think that's one thing you could use for an easy-peasy, highly interactive web application. There is actually no shortage of existing Python web frameworks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
