Is it possible to write Python scripts in HTML code similarly as you write PHP between <?php ... ?> tags?
I'd like to achieve that my Python application will run in the browser.
thank you for help
Python indentation requirements don't go well with mixing HTML and Python code. Therefore, the most prominent method (which is a framework called Django), uses a template engine so that the Python is never in direct contact with the HTML code.
It will be similar to PHP and not javascript, as it will run on the server-side.
There is also mod_python for Apache, but I would strongly recommend using Django, which also runs on an Apache server.
PHP doesn't run in the browser, as it is a server side language. You could try Skulpt to try to run python in the browser.
You are mixing up client-side and server-side execution of code.
Browsers support only Javascript.
Any application-server or Python-based webframework support template language where you can mix HTML and Python in some way or the other.
A newer answer for an older question: There is a Python framework called Karrigell that
supports what it calls "Python Inside HTML". It interprets Python from HTML files with a ".pih" extension.
I've not tried Karrigell, but it looks compelling.
Well, this might be overkill, but you can install a localhost xampp server. Then, just put the right comments at the top of the file to direct xampp to the interpreter, and you can print out html or regular words right from the language itself. For example, a Python script like this
#!/Python34/python
print "Content-type: text/html"
print
print "Hello World"
Would give a webpage saying Hello World

As the title said, just wonderring how to use python or anyhow to include executable python script into HTML
Using django to do this.
django official web:

I would look into the python documentation here for learning about Python in the web. But more specifically, there is documentation here explaining Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and how to use it. I recommend looking into this first because I am unsure what exactly you need help with, if it is simply wondering how it works, then these links will explain that just fine.
Flask is very simple micro framework for writing web applications in python.

I want to run a python file in the web I have in a GitHub repository. Is it possible to do this?
And by running in the web, I mean putting #!/usr/bin/python and print 'Content-type:text/html\n in the first two lines.
In general this is not possible, Github (pages) serves only static content (ex: HTML, CSS, JS). If you want python to run (ex generate dynamic content) you need a web server capable of running python (your browser were the contents of GitHub Pages get downloaded and run can't do it).
That said there are experimental ways of running subsets of python in the browser. Take a look for a example at this question.
If you truly want to generate a complete HTTP response via standard output, then start by reading about CGI and Python's standard cgi module. You'll also need to have access to a CGI-compatible web server, perhaps running on a virtual host.
However, CGI is quite obsolescent as a way to produce dynamic output for the web. #jjwon's suggestion to look at Python-based web application frameworks like Flask is a good one.
I have tried searching online like crazy with no avail. PHP is as simple as naming the file .php and writing PHP. I know people say it's that simple for Python, but I have found no useful guides in setting it up. I merely want to practice Python on my computer via WAMP or another alternative. I am on Windows Vista.
I cannot get .py files to execute correctly. The actual text:
print("Hello!")
Appears just as that rather than "Hello!". I don't know what to do to make it actually work in my browser.
Any help or pointing towards guides would be greatly appreciated.
PHP does not execute in the browser. It is executed on the server side then the output is sent by the web server to the browser.
If you want a simple way to use Python to process web requests take a look at web.py (http://webpy.org).
Your server should handle Python code. Take a look at framework Django. And as for servers I can suggest you http://webfaction.com
I'm thinking if there already is some sort of online live python console (web-based) with open source code available. Anyone know of anything?
It would be really useful to have console in Django admin (like running python manage.py shell on the server's terminal), so it would be great to have django/any wsgi aplication, that can be used to enable web based live console access.
Thanks
You're looking for the Werkzug debugger.
http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/
http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/docs/debug/
It's got an interactive javascript based in-browser debugger for your WSGI projects, among many other great tools. Fantastic stuff.
For Django specifically, there's also RunServerPlus, which is part of the django-extensions package.

You should check out Python Anywhere. You can run python web apps, you get an SQL database, and you get a bash shell in your browser.
Have a look at python shell from Google. There's a link to source code at the top. Loading Django environment into it might be not very easy but I believe it's possible.
I'm not sure if this meets your desire but you might take a look at Chrome extension : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gdiimmpmdoofmahingpgabiikimjgcia
There is a great website called Codecademy. It teaches the fundamentals of Python, Ruby, Javascript, and HTML/CSS.
They also have online consoles for each of the languages they teach, excluding HTML/CSS. This website is Codecademy Labs. Codecademy Labs has a console you can type directly in, and an editor that displays output in the console. I hope that this helped you find what you were looking for!
I am rookie in python - have experience in PHP
my service provider (Bluehost) say that python 2.6 is available, however I am not able to run any script (basic hello word) on it - probably because I try do it PHP way. create a script.php file and place the link to it in browser... :)
Where I can find explanation for dummy like me what I should do with file script.py (hello world inside) in order to be executed and displayed in browser, I am guessing that compilation could be required
thank you

If you're using Apache, this simple tutorial will show you how to configure it and run a python "hello world" script (in the simplest, old-fashioned way: as a CGI script).
This system-administration/configuration part will of course be different with other web servers, or other and better way of running Python web app (WSGI in particular), but then, you're not telling us what server or approach (CGI vs WSGI vs others yet) you want to use, so, this is probably the best we can suggest!-)
