If you want to do that in a web browser, the main technique for it is called AJAX and you'd write your application in Javascript. There are some good libraries including jquery that can help. A little bit of web surfing about AJAX and Jquery can find you more info. Another approach is as a desktop GUI app with its own socket communications layer, but that way seems to be going out of style as AJAX has gotten more powerful. Finally you can write in Actionscript which runs in the browser's Flash plug-in. I guess this is also popular (lots of Facebook games use it) but I put it last because I hate Flash. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
