shao, hi, ajax is javascript, python isn't ajax, so there's an implicit dichotomy in what you're asking for _but_, there is this: http://pyjs.org - pyjamas: a python-to-AJAX compiler and web framework. you can therefore write application front-ends in python that get compiled into AJAX, to run on a web browser. the standard pyjamas user-interface API is _very_ similar to pyqt4 and pygtk2. documentation online is quite comprehensive, latest addition is: http://pyjs.org/book/output/Bookreader.html that takes care of the front-end, and a description of how to use AJAX, including ways to use at least four different JSONRPC back-end server frameworks is described here: http://pyjs.org/book/output/Bookreader.html#Rest%20of%20the%20World the alternative is for you use a javascript-based AJAX library in standard HTML, from any back-end server framework of your choice, coding up the front-end using custom-written javascript. the reason you need to write it yourself is that, although many of the python frameworks come with a _bit_ of AJAX included, it's usually as part of the "admin" interface: none of the back-end server frameworks are sufficiently sophisticated to include the kind of custom functionality you require. except pyjamas, which is a full-on compiler, turning python code into AJAX code, but that's for use in the front-end. good luck, l. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
