Python isn't a good choice as a browser language because it doesn't have enough security. Hostile scripts can take over the interpreter too easily. There was a Python-based browser effort called Grail which I don't think got very far. Personally I think there are very few good uses for complex client side browser scripts. Most sites that use Javascript don't really need to. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
