We need a lot more context and precision.

What OS, what web framework(if any) what Python version.

What does on a web site mean?
How are you submitting text?
Who created the Javascript - how does it relate to your Python code?
How are you running the Python code?

etc etc.

It may all seem self evident to you but I can assure
you it isn't to us!

And where do they appear? In a browser? a server console?
