I only know two ways, that are worth considering (searching on the net 
shows a lot of results but it's hard to pick the good ones ...):

- "LUXOR": afaik written in Java with Python/Jython abilities. Could be 
a promising platform (but I don't know much about this) ...
- PyXPCOM: enable Python in the Mozilla-Framework (most of the stuff on 
the net is quite old, however the actual code is stored in Mozilla-cvs 
and recent. ActiveState use Python+XUL/Mozilla for their apps)
(Useful links might be:

http://www.mozilla.org/catalog/architecture/xpcom/pyxpcom/
http://pygecko.sourceforge.net/)

IMO pygecko is a bit of "the right idea".
Mozilla Project should split up their stuff and make a standalone 
XUL-Server supporting multiple languages. (Hey M$ is currently doing 
something similar for Longhorn...)
