Can non-GIS web page display Python results from MXD/SDE data/Scripts?

[BrianO_keefe]

Just starting to get into ArcMAP development and trying to get my bearings. From what I understand, Python is very much an internal scripting engine like VBA is for Microsoft. However, Python is also a language that can be used for web pages.

My question is straightforward.

If I have a webserver, and that webserver runs python and stores mxd files, can I have Python scripts that checks things like Feature Class count on an MXD and display that information on a web page?

I'm thinking... Business Intelligence/Dashboard type of purpose.

Anyone have an idea?

Totally possible. Not sure what the level of effort would be though, as I've never delved into using python on the web.

Python itself isn't Esri's, just the arcpy site package. There are a ton of modules out there, including ones for doing both server-side and client-side web programming.
