Beginner question on how to use python.

[ReclusiveManiac]

Ok, this may seem to be a stupid question, but I don't know. I am doing some tutorials for Python and it seems neat and everything, but how do you make so that you can use the program you make on a website of something? All help would be appreciated very much.

use it like a java applet or in place of client-side javascript? you can't as far as i know. that's not what python is best at anyway.

you can use it as a server-side language to make web applications... for more info google zope, cherrypy, turbogears, django, cheetah to name a few.

you can use it to make gui applications, google python+tk, or wxpython.

you can just use it to make console based applications too.

it has many other uses as well... as many as you can find a use for

I always start here:

Going there and searching for Random will lead you to here:
