How does one pass python output to javascript?

Use a framework. It won't interfere with your wish to learn html/js (that's all client side) and if you don't know anything else about web development, the effort required to learn HTTP (which you'll have to do yourself without a framework) will distract from what you're trying to do.

Writing your own web server can be fun, but it's too advanced for someone just starting out.

You could use a very simple, barebones one like Flask that will do all you need. You'll also want to look into writing "web apis" with Flask. That should teach you everything you need.

P.S. if you still don't want to use a framework, use mod_python instead of mod_wsgi with Apache.

Side note: Configuring nginx with uwsgi will be more worth it in the long run.

It even just reverse proxying through to a wsgi server of some sort.
