Hi Yingjie, keep in mind that the Jmol Applet is executed inside the Browser of the user whereas your python script runs on the webserver. So you'll need to communicate data from the client back to the server.
The first step would be passing the data that you need from the Java-Applet into the JavaScript (inside the Browser). This can be done by e.g. PickCallbacks (or similar) or you can probably assign the content of the state-file to a JavaScript variable (as a string). The second step would be to pass that information back to the webserver. With JavaScript you can assign the data you want to transfer to a <input type="hidden"> inside a <form ... method="post"> which will send the data to the server when the form is submitted. If using a form is too Web 1.0 for you, I'm sure you can also use an AJAX framework to send the data to the server.
