Cool! The first link appears to work with Firefox and provides a real example of using a Python interactive prompt via a non-local web interface. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to use Crunchy, but instead uses TryPy. Apparently you can't define classes or functions with TryPy, but I recall you can using Crunchy. This is important for creating tutorials in which you ask the student to define a class or function to solve a problem. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
