receive data from a python program to animate an object on a webpage
Images are not shown "on your website", they are shown "in your users' browsers".
The browser needs to request the animation information from your website, which needs to request it from (wherever it comes from). Ideally, the website will cache the data so that 20 browser requests result in just one website request.

How close to realtime is this information?
Where does it come from? Is it a service you can run on the webserver?
How often does the browser need to be updated?

You should look for information on AJAX (letting the browser make asynchronous requests from the website).
good day stackoverflow!
im not sure if any of you has tried this but basically i want to accomplish something like this:
- a python program continuously sends data to my website
- using that data computations will be made and images on the website are animate
so my questions are:
1. what method should i use to communicate python to the website? the easier and simpler the better (tried reading up on django and my nose bled)
2. is javascript the best way to move my images? or is flash better?
3. if flash is better, is it possible to use the input from python and pass it to flash?
