Brython (Browser Python) is an implementation of Python 3 running in the browser, with an interface to the DOM elements and events.
Here is a simple example of an HTML page running Python:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/brython.js"></script>
</head>
<body onload="brython()">
<script type="text/python">
from browser import document, alert
def echo(event):
alert(document["zone"].value)
document['mybutton'].bind('click', echo)
</script>
<input id="zone"><button id="mybutton">click !</button>
</body>
</html>
To use Brython, all there is to do is:
brython() on page load, like <body onload=brython()>.<script type="text/python"> or linking it.Brython supports most of the syntax of Python 3, including comprehensions, generators, metaclasses, imports, etc. and many modules of the CPython distribution.
It includes libraries to interact with DOM elements and events, and with existing Javascript libraries such as jQuery, 3D, Highcharts, Raphael etc. It supports lastest specs of HTML5/CSS3, and can use CSS Frameworks like Bootstrap3, LESS, SASS etc.

There is a gallery of examples where you can see simple and advanced examples using vanilla Brython or interacting with other javascript libraries.
Documentation is available on the official site. You can read the docs in English, French and Spanish.
