Python can be used as both a application and web interface language. tehre is a scripting engine (PythonScript) allowing you to use it to develop ASP's. But I do not think ASP.NET will allow the usage. I've not looked into .NET that far as of yet.
I think at this point in the questions reading the starting points on Python at
would answer your quetions and curiousity far better.
scroll down slightly in the page and you'll see some good articels starting with
What is Python? - short summary describing Python.
leading up to some examples to get you going and what you'll need to run Python on your machine along with interprutation through IIS.
also for the IIS and ASP side of things you'll more then likely find this site very helpful. the configuration and set up to run PythonScript is seemless and a easy thing to start in learning the Python syntax

Well, I though onpnt's answer pretty much covered it, so here's another explanation:
Python is not a web language.
Python is an interpreted programming language similar to .Net and Java
PythonScript is a derivative of Python that allows IIS to execute Python files as ASP files and return HTML
Python can also be used for cgi
Python can be used as a client-side web scripting language if the user has it installed, similar to how Java applets can run on a client browser if you have the JVM installed.
