ActiveState do a version of Python that can run in a script tag like JavaScript and VBScript. This requires Windows Scripting Host. They also do a similar thing for Perl, not sure about TCL. The syntax is along the lines of <SCRIPT language="PythonScript"> Python goes here </SCRIPT> I remember reading this about PerlScript and I'm pretty sure I'm correct in remembering there is a PythonScript. Anyway you are limited to ActiveState and Windows Scripting Host. For pragmatic reasons I think you would be better concentrating on JavaScript for the Client and your language of choice Python/Ruby/Lua/whatever for the server part of AJAX.
