Maybe I am wrong, but I thought you could write in nothing but
Python and HTML. I am going to start playing with web2py tomorrow,
so I will find out how wrong I was.
Like most Python web frameworks the server side is all Python
but the Views(UI ) are in HTML which includes any Javascript
you care to write. Web2py doesn't care about that it just sends
it to the browser which interprets it as usual.
So to write a modern-style web app with responsive UI you
still need to wite it in HTML/Javascript using a combination
of HTML5 and JQuery for the UI interactions/validations.
The connection between the web2py server side bits (in the
controllers) is the use of {{...}} markers within the HTML.
Anything inside the double curlies gets translated to HTML
by web2py, inserted into the View html and the View then
gets and sent out along with the boilerplate in the
layout (html) file.

[Tutor] web development question
If you don't know javascript, and want to code your website in python, you might consider using web2py http://www.web2py.com/ With web2py a whole lot of things happen automatically for you more or less 'by magic'. Whether you consider this a really great thing because you didn't want to have to learn all the low level details or a really terrible thing because you want absolute control over the low level details depends on you.
