Years ago there was a plugin that ran Python within a web browser. There
are recent efforts (not yet fruitful) to write a restricted interpreter
so that safety concerns are met (memory use, filesystem, etc.).

If you are looking to use Python in a browser today, look at Jython,
which converts Python ~2.1 or so source into Java bytecode with access
to all of Java's libraries, etc.
