I would recommend against embedding ActiveX controls, especially if this web application is public (if it is internal, it's not as much of a problem, but you still might have problems later if you ever want to migrate off Windows). ActiveX controls are not only Windows-specific, but (mostly) IE-specific as well. Since you are developing it from scratch, I would say that you should do it right and use AJAX, or possibly Flash or Java applets, all of which are reasonably portable. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
