As ever, it depends.

If you are using WSH on Windows and have the Python active scripting
installed then yes. Similarly if you use IE as web browser then it
can be done in a web page too.

If however it's server-side JavaScript the answer is probably no
unless you count using web services such as SOAP and XML/RPC.
