The web framework in Splunk 6 includes Django so you can build your web app in Python using the Django Bindings and Splunk Python SDK and this will be served up by the Splunk Web Server.

There are several Django charting packages you could also take advantage of ie: https://github.com/areski/django-nvd3

You'll find all you need to know here : http://dev.splunk.com/view/webframework-djangobindings/SP-CAAAEM6

This link shows how to use the Splunk Python SDK in your Django View : http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAEMP

Thanks Damien!!!
Is there any method where I can use python code to create a scripts and show the result on splunk UI. As my queries are bit complex and length, I need to implement some logic in python language and use to display on web. Plus even I need to where to put this python script in order to run it first.

This link from my answer, http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAEMP , demonstrates how to incorporate server side python code to perform some processing then render the results using a Django template.
