If you don't want to refresh the page, you should use Ajax as a request. Example using JQuery:

$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "~/pythoncode.py",
   data: { param: text}
}).done(function( o ) {
   // do something
});

Adding on to Joao's answer, after making the AJAX request using jQuery, you can access it like using the POST function:

class FrontPage:
    def GET:
        ### Add some GET code here
    def POST:
        k = web.input()
        user_input = k['param']
        ### Do something with user_input and sends back using AJAX
