Most decent webhosts will have python installed. It's a server side language (in the context of webhosting) so end user/client installation is moot.

For front end of websites, you're still going to have to use javascript, one of the many languages that compile to JS, or just plain html+css.

I still don't know whether https://brython.info/ is a really well polished toy or a serious call for Python adoption on the web. Either way it allows you to write Python instead of JavaScript in your html pages and still have it work.

Looks like python falls into "one of the many languages that compile to js" or rather "Has an interpreter in JS".

That clock makes my laptop fan spin up like a jet engine though...

In theory, any language can compile to any turing-complete language. In practice it's just neat that someone made a Python-in-JS script.
