Web console for text-based RPG in Python

Question

I'm a beginner here, slowly learning Python. I wrote a text-based RPG game, and I'm looking for a way to create a web-version of it. However, I don't want to follow the approach where HTML is generated when something happens in game (i.e. player goes to a different room, etc). Aesthetically I want a webpage with an embedded console which will run my text RPG code only, and an input field below this console to allow user input. Which web framework should I use for this?

if I understand you right you want to send the player's commands to the server asynchronously. I would suggest Pyramid because of a number of reasons:

It is simple to use
it is VERY well tested
It is associated with a massive community of helpful people
it is malleable - it does not make assumptions about what you want to do and so doesn't place restrictions on you in terms of, well, anything. You can pick your templating engine (or use more than one if you want), you can choose your database, you can choose how to talk to your database, etc
