Switch web server scripts from javascript to python. #19
Description
This would resolve oscar's split personality disorder, allowing both the web server and scanning script to use the same API wrappers. Then it will easier to support alternative list apps (e.g. wunderlist), since the API only needs to be understood in one language. I prefer unifying around python since I don't really know javascript.
A good alternative for scripting the dynamic content is bottle.py. Popular lightweight web servers on the pi are nginx and lighttpd, and these might be easier to install than node.
It could be that node.js offers some advantages, though; I don't know the reasons for the original choice.
