A downloadable client is an application like any other. Since you know 
Python you can start with that. You can use the pickle module to keep a 
list of high scores.

Why do you call this a web app if it is downloadable? How will it be 
different from a standalone application? If you want the high scores to 
be shared between different users you will have to make the application 
talk to a server of some kind. A simple way to do this is by making 
requests to a web server. You could also use XML-RPC. Python has modules 
to support both of these.
