The browser-side programming has to be in javascript. The server-side 
program that sends the javascript and the list of options to the browser 
can be in Python.

You might want to look at the TurboGears widget set which provides many 
browser-side widgets that are configured from Python. Widgets are part 
of TG 1.0. Unfortunately the docs seem to be a bit thin and sorting it 
all out is probably not a beginner project.
