If you are running Windows, and you have Python installed, and you have the
Python-Win32 extensions installed, then there is a script you can run which
installs Python as one of the "Windows scripting languages".  After that,
you can run Python code in HTML just like Javascript:

  <script language="Python">
    print "abcde"
  </script>

However, it is considered a security risk which is why it is no longer
enabled by default.  Plus, it will only work on systems that have it
installed.
