It's a simple text-based program, the interaction would work
perfectly in a
terminal with the computer printing out lines of text to the user,
and the user
typing in lines of text and pressing return, and this is the kind of
interaction I want to enable on a web page.
For small apps I'd suggest biting the bullet and learning JavaScript
and coding it in the browser.
The next best thing is either a Java applet - which can be written
in Jython - or an Ajax application. Both of these have a steepish
learning curve which is why I suggest learning JavaScript!
the entire page to be reloaded every time there's an input or
output. So am I
looking at ajax, javascript, etc.? I'm a little bit lost, not
knowing what's
available out there.
Yes I think one of JavaScript, Jython, or Ajax will be best.
I believe that Django supports Ajax and I know TurboGears does.
If you go the JavaScript route check out Mochikit which makes
JS more like Python!
