Run Python script from JS

[Gnarlodious]

Is there any way to call a Py script from Javascript in a webpage?

I don't have to tell you how messy JS is…

Where is the script located, and where do you want it to run? Server or client?

Indeed. jQuery dulls the pain though.

Cheers,

You can use Pyjamas [1], Emscripten [2] or skulpt [3] for that.

for xhtml wouldnt the syntax be <script type = "text/python">??
or am i on some other planet

No, you're right. Before you get too excited, however, I want to
emphasize how limited this option is. This will ONLY work if Python has
been installed on the machine running the browser, AND if Python has
been enabled as an ActiveScripting language on that machine. The
Windows Python installations have the ability to do that, but it is not
done automatically because the security implications are not fully
understood. (Well, more precisely, there are known attack vectors that
make it too dangerous for widespread deployment.)
