What are you trying to do? Note, the Python code in the view is executed on
the server side, before the HTML page is sent to the browser. The
Javascript code is executed by the browser itself once the HTML page has
been rendered. Once the page is in the browser, no Python code can run
there -- your Python code and Javascript cannot iteract. You can use Python
to write Javascript on the server, but the Python cannot dynamically
generate or change the Javascript in the browser.
