Oh, yep. " Back to the good stuff. Running an app in a little box on a web page is fun for a while, but it doesn’t really buy you much unless it can interact with the web page around it.
To put this in context: Python and JavaScript are very similar languages; both support late binding, dynamic object creation, and duck typing. Panda is already pretty good at wrapping C++ objects for Python’s benefit; compared to that monstrosity, wrapping JavaScript’s objects is a warm summer breeze. So why not do it properly, and fully expose the entire JavaScript object space to direct manipulation by Python? So, we do. The Panda3D plugin allows you to write Python code that looks like “document.getElementById(’form’).greeting.value = ‘hello’”, which is of course changing a form value on the web page, using the JavaScript DOM model. But you’re writing it in Python. In fact, anything that JavaScript can do, your Python program can do too. And the reverse is true as well: we allow you to expose the Python objects of your choice to JavaScript, to allow the web page to directly poke values into your application, or even call your Python methods!" http://www.panda3d.org/blog/?p=14 Told ya these guys are awesome. :) On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 1:29 AM, Luke Paireepinart <[email protected]>wrote: > Ya'll should look into Panda3D.
