The biggest problem I see is security.
What keeps the web programmer from doing an os.popen("FORMAT C:/") or 
whatever?
you have to go through every function and make sure it's not a security 
risk, and if it is, eliminate it.
Whitelisting would be the answer here I think, blacklisting would take 
too long.
But yeah, being able to do animations in python would roxxor.
