Yes, as Kimmo mentioned you could just exec to a server-side Python
script, but one wonders, since you're going back to the server anyway,
why you're switching languages...
(Just to be clear, here, Ivan is also right: You can't "run" Python in
the browser as it is a server-side language, and the form is living in
the browser, i.e., the client. For the Python script to run, that
information has to be transmitted from the client back to the server, so
the server knows to run the Python code...)
