Well, anything is possible, with enough work, but the answer you're 
looking for is no.

There has been talk of making a web-browser plugin that could run 
wxPython, but no one has done it.

Short of that, you are talking about converting a stand-alone GUI app to 
a web app, and the paradigms are so different that it's next to 
impossible to do automatically.

However, there are some pretty nifty AJAX frameworks that might help, 
such as the Tibco General Interface:

or QooXDoo:

Note: I haven't used either of these, but am hoping to some day. There 
are lots of others, as well.
