gollark: No, I mean you can't run it on the client side in a web application. You can run Python programs if you download them, but not "on a webpage".

gollark: <@514958719784583188> You can't (sanely) run Python on the client side. Only the server.

gollark: I wrote some code yesterday and on Friday for a project. *Today* I wanted to make some changes to it, decided I didn't like it, and may have to rewrite it. Yay programming!
