If you mean on the backend, yes, of course. see flask and django projects.
Answer from Stefano on Stack OverflowIf you mean on the backend, yes, of course. see flask and django projects.
Python in any way could be a replacement of javascript and and vice versa.
If your web don't need a visual effects, don't need data from Rest Apis, is just and html with css, the answer is: You could create the html in the server using python
If you web need a lot the classic effects, open/close popups, left hamburger menu and more complex features in the client side (browser), the answer is: No, you can't develop it without javascript
There attempts to create a web effects with pure css, but is not common.
Server Rendering vs Client side Rendering
In web development there are two approaches to deliver content to end users: Server rendering and client side rendering
Server side rendering (SSR) — the traditional rendering method, basically all of your page’s resources are housed on the server. Then, when the page is requested (commonly from web browsers), the Html, JS and CSS are downloaded. Also frameworks can dynamically can create the html based on backend logic and finally download it. At this point, a lot of frameworks offer wonders for creating apps in no time with "amazing" functionalities.
Technologies : java, c#, python, nodejs, etc
Client side rendering (CSR) — Which is sometimes called "Frontend rendering" is a more recent kind of rendering method, this relies on JS executed on the client side (browser) via a JavaScript framework. So, when page is requested, a minimal , little or empty index.html, css and js were downloaded. Here javascript is responsible to send or receive data and update a minimal section of the page without an entire page refresh.. Finally when user click or trigger some event, javascript will send or receive the data commonly to an api rest (json) using an async call (ajax).
This is the most used currently in companies around the world and a required skill in any web developer.
Technologies : react, angular, vue, aurelia, jquery, pure javascript, etc
I'm new to programming. I'm learning Python and C.
JavaScript, from what I understand, is an interpreted language supported by web browsers so that websites can have scripting and programming.
But Python is also an interpreted language. So why don't web browsers start supporting Python in addition to JS. I believe Python is a much better language than JS syntactically.
Is there a definite reason why JS is used and supported over Python or is it just that JS gained initial popularity through wide-based support and no one bothered to move away from it (just like how QWERTY keyboard layout stuck even though we don't use typewriters anymore)?

An O'Reilly article said that python could replace javascript in webpage programming.
I program in both languages, and I don't see how that would work.
I suppose all you'd need would be a python module giving access to the DOM.
Does such a module already exist?
If so, does it adopt the JS practice of forbidding access to the local computer?
Transcrypt is one transpiler option. It has all the same limits as JavaScript does as regards the local computer, because the final result is JavaScript... but it lets you write the code in python.

This has nothing to do with JS practices or the language, but rather the implementations (browsers).
Anyway, there are a few ways you could run python in a JS runtime (browser). You could compile your python to JS. I think there is a package for this, but I don't know what it is called. You could make a python interpreter in JS, which there is also a package for, Brython maybe? The most likely method in the future would be web assembly which is a subset of JS that is always JIT to machine code at runtime. This is how languages like C#(Blazor) and Rust are run in the browser.
Check out this video on youtube. It is a talk all about the subject.
I want to learn web developement, but I don't want to learn a new language, i.e., JavaScript.. Is Python good for web development or do I have to learn JavaScript?? Also are there any other modules than Django (it feels to complicated to me)??
Edit: Guess I'll learn JavaScript after all..
There are a couple of projects to bring python to browsers, for example http://brython.info, all are not production-ready.
You can use transpiled languages (your code transformed into JS to be run by a browser). Typescript is one of the options.
In the end web development == Javascript, so you should grit your teeth and just use the right tool for the job. There are many frameworks available to make JS development less painful: vue.js, angular, react, many others...
Yes.You can first you need to download XMAPP AND Python3 then open XMAPP -> apache config notepad will be open then find AddHandler. AddHandler-> AddHandler cgi-script.cgi.pl.asp.py -> save it.Then the .py extension created.
