Very much so.
The web frameworks, Django & TurboGears are quite powerful and can be
used to do what you just now mentioned.
Check out Django - esp if the application is database centric. It has
very good documentation and a free online book - djangobook.

In addition to the recommendations by other people, I'd like to
recommend the very easy to learn and use web2py. (www.web2py.com).

That does look impressive. Is that Django or Turbogears?

with pyjamas, as mark mentioned previously - but what mark perhaps
wasn't aware of is that with pyjamas-desktop you can have _both_.

you can have the _exact_ same python application _either_ be compiled
to javascript, and be a web application, _or_ you can run it under
pyjamas-desktop, as pure python.

so you can have a pyjamas app do _both_ jobs.

for some examples that look like the kinds of things that you would
expect, see:

http://pyjs.org/examples/timesheet/output/TimeSheet.html
http://pyjs.org/examples/employeeadmin/output/EmployeeAdmin.html

both of these use http://puremvc.org (python version, not javascript
version). both of them work under pyjd.

I get this error dialogue message when visiting the above page:

"TimeSheet undefined list assignment index out of range"

Along with the following in-page error, once the data has been
imported:

"JavaScript Error: uncaught exception: list assignment index out of
range at line number 0. Please inform webmaster."

It looks quite nice, though.

DOH! someone assuming javascript-isms in lists, and the compiler's
been improved to ban them
