What about Django?

Is it possible to submit a Django-based browser game? Probably there would be quite a bit of Javascript involved to make the gameplay suck less (compared to simple links/buttons etc.), which maybe violates the "Python" constraint. Also, the game would probably have to be evaluated on the demo server, as you will need more than one player to make the game sensible. No code is written yet, I just have a few general gameplay ideas.

People have done it before :)
As long as python is your main language (and using django makes it so, IMO) then you can use any other language as well, it's in the rules somewhere...

You'll have to distribute the source for the server as well as the client, but you can run a main server as well.
Well, I assume you can, as again, that's been done a few times before :)

Hello,

You don't need to use a single line of js to make your game better. You can use Pyjamas (http://pyjs.org/) a python to javascript compiler, it is really neat and you can even use a Canvas and SVG graphics.

regards,

Yeah, this sort of game is perfectly OK.
