You don't necessarily *need* Python, although it's certainly more than up
to the task. You could write the server-side code in Perl, Java, Ruby, PHP,
or really pretty much any language that suits your style.
On the server, the output is what's important; browsers neither know nor
care what language is being used to produce it.
