Python use with browsers?

[David Lees]

I am afraid the original poster (me) is ignorant so a link or two to
appropriate information is fine.  I need to check with our software head
to find out exactly what he has in mind.  I was thinking of those Java
applets that I assumed download Java byte code to your browser and then
execute on the client.  So replace Java byte code with Python byte code
and execute it from the browser.  I very much would like to understand
what Steve and Maan refer to.

Thanks,

David Lees
