You could convert to the whole world to using the Grail (http://
grail.sourceforge.net), which can run Python applets, but Java applets
with Jython are probably the second best option. The java.awt.Applet
class isn't that bad. For simple applets, it's probably the only one
you'll need. After all, Jython makes Java classes look like Python.
Good Luck!

Ah, but Jython compiles Python to Java bytecode so browsers will run
it. However, it is true, that you'd have to include all of the
standard library modules you used.
