Congratulations! You've just written code that writes code. It takes a
bit to get your head around it (especially when you start worrying
about literal strings that might contain quotes, for instance), but
it's really cool and seriously powerful stuff. Your server-side Python
code can generate client-side Javascript code any way it likes...
unlimited possibilities.
