Answer 1

Req.write('<script>location.href="page.py?fn=xxx";</script>')

At the end of the python function that to be executed while submit

Answer 2

Unless you're submitting the form with AJAX then submitting will take the user to a new page, so you can't do a javascript redirect.

You could redirect on the server side, or change the action of the form.

Answer 3

Use ajax to submit the form. Then onSuccess callback, set window.location = new_url.
