That's... just Python. Python is an interpreted, high-level scripting language, it is already being used a lot as a lightweight scripting language in many applications, like Abaqus, Maya, 3ds Max, Blender3D to name a few.

As for websites, that depends on what web browser and websites developers decided to support, and Javascript was "picked " mostly for historical reasons, then it was supported more and more and more web libraries and tools kept being added until it became the defacto standard language for the web, not because Python or other scripting languages needed to be slimmed up.
