If you had included the sample lines in your message, instead of an 
attachment, then it'd be part of the mailing list, and I would've been 
happier to help.  As it is, you attached a blurry image, rather than 
just pasting the actual text.  Remember, this is a text mailing list.  
BTW, what shell is that?  The error message seems to be singularly 
unhelpful.

Where's your leading quote, the one before the \n ?  And where's the 
trailing quote at the end of the last line?  And why are there two + 
signs in a row on the second line?  There may be other typos, but I 
can't tell, since it's not text that I can paste into my own shell.

I don't know any way to run Python in the browser, without convincing 
the user to download something.  That's what Javascript is (sort of) 
useful for.  However, python makes a great language for the backend, in 
other words to run on the server, generating the pages.

There's lots of overlap, but each can do things the other cannot.  For 
the most obvious, javascript in the browser can run user interaction 
much more readily, and responsively.  And python (or many other choices) 
can  interact with the server's file system (eg. database) and other 
resources much more readily than javascript could.

I use python for desktop programming, and for statically generating web 
pages.  I haven't done any serious server-side programming yet, but I will.
