Python as script language

I was wondering if many people here have tried using python
as a script language with html.
The way I see it python is a language that could be relied on,I
mean even sun microsystems have enough respect for it to implement a version called jython.
I would appreciate anybodys opinion on this.

There's a Python module for Apache and the Windows Python distro installs a Python scripting engine that can be used with ASP (and IE or WSH), so if you have control of your web server, using it server-side is no problem. However, client side would be difficult, as the web browser must support Python, which is probably not too common - IE can if PythonScript was installed, I don't know about other browsers.

Hey ! Thanks for your help.I was wondering,Would you say
Perl would be a better choice as a script than python?
And have you ever heard of Active perl.What would be the difference between this and perl?
Thanks!

Perl is more common than Python, especially on web servers.

ActivePerl is the ActiveState company's Perl distro - it's pretty much the most common Windows Perl distro. ActivePerl adds some Windows-specific things, like PerlScript or PerlISAPI (for IIS and ISAPI compliant web servers). I use ActivePerl a bit at work, for web development and as stand-alone scripts. ActivePerl should be able to do everything that Perl can do, minus the UNIX specific stuff.
