The jdk requirement isn't a problem.  Any of the web browsers you
would target with an applet has a jdk (actually, jre -- just the
runtime and libraries, no compiler) already in it.  Use the jythonc
script to build a jar file from your Python sources and embed it in a
web page just like you would a java applet.
