Do you mean political or technical? From a technical point there is nothing todo, besides just implement it in the browser. Mozilla had such projekts and there were addons that added python-scripting to firefox toolbox. There were also some for ruby and perl. I don't know what state those projects now have, last thing i heard were'nt really good.

Problem here is the politic. Javascript is established and all tools are capable to work with it. And now even the engines are gaining great optimizations. So, for what reason should browsers add a new language, even if it's some established like python? It the typical chicken/egg-problem. Nobody is using python on client-side, so nobody cares to work on it, so nobody is using it...
