I don't think you can use a web based application without a server. However, the local server is already there without additional installation, so if you want an application that has a browser interface, then you don't need to do any extra.
You can use the webpy current architecture directly and just generate the excel file in a controller and pass it to view (or generate it in the view). I think you can even view/edit the xls file in the browser with a browser plugin, or then let it automatically open the results in excel. I think you can use DAL in your local script without server and do the controller-part also in normal Python functions, but then you wouldn't have browser UI or web support.
