yes - pyjamas - http://pyjs.org - although, strictly speaking, it's a
python widget-set and python-to-javascript compiler.
the possibility now of being able to program in python both client-
side (to generate the front-end) and server-side is just _such_ a
relief.
i now almost exclusively use django and pyjamas, for all web
development.

i just did a quick review of one of the alternatives to pyjamas -
qooxdoo.org - which actually looks pretty good, except then you think
"hang on a minute - this is near-identical functionality to pyjamas,
i'm a python programmer, i'd have to get involved with javascript,
what the _hell_ am i _thinking_!"

basically, pyjamas turns the web browser into a desktop widget set
platform. apps are written in the same declarative style as python-
qt4 and python-gtk2 and python-wxwidgets.
all the browser incompatibilities are taken care of, with seamless per-
platform overrides for Netscape, Mozilla, Safari, Opera and IE.
so it couldn't _get_ any easier.
you don't even need to know any javascript - just a bit of CSS and
some HTML.
