Plot points on a Shapefile like this: https://github.com/gka/pyshpgeocodeand then convert it to HTML and display it on a browser?
Is this practical method to display the map on a browser?
Any cons of it?
Is there any other way of displaying a Shapefile on a browser?

KurtKurtYou can convert your shapefile to GeoJSON and use tools like leaflet to Display it in an HTML page.
To convert a shapefile to GeoJSON you can use Quantum GIS (It's a great GIS tool). and also there is online convertion services: http://ogre.adc4gis.com/ or http://www.mapshaper.org/
checkout shp2Mapstraction.py here which makes your point data to html with desired map provider.(in this trunk you can find more files for some purposes.)
Usage:
Shape File Viewer Open Source
and here there is some information about it.
i hope it helps you...
