I think you can do this on windows and IE: http://www.python.org/windows/win32com/ActiveXScripting.html And I keep hearing rumors that Python scripting is comming soon to a mozilla browser near you. http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/008865.html Here's the highlight from that Mozilla article: "Given evolving JS, why Python? Simple: different programming languages, of different ages, have their strengths, and one of the greatest strength of any solid language is its community. We want to support Python as well as JS for XUL scripting in order to engage a large, creative community of hackers that is mostly disjoint from the web-standards-savvy XUL hackers who are already engaged with Mozilla and Firefox. We aim to broaden the appeal of our platform in several ways, and supporting Python for XUL is one achievable way to do that, thanks to Mark's work back in the days when he was employed by Active State, and now that we have him engaged again for the Mozilla Foundation." I like that, the Firefox Developers are saying that Python will "broaden the appeal" of their platform! I think it's true, but it's not something I expected them to say! --Mark --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
