With Silverlight you can define functions & classes in Python, Ruby, JScript, C#, VB, C++, and other languages and use them interchangeably. They all run sandboxed on the client. One of the demos (the chess program) demonstrates the difference quite well: it has both JScript and C# implementations, with the JScript version examining about 500 nodes per move and the C# one about 1,500,000. > >>>> Have you at least run the demos? > > Yes, I downloaded two demos, and run-it. > I had look (quickly) the code.

As I understand it you have to install the new beta version of visual studio. So that is an 8Mb download for the Silverlight support in VS plus a 5.6Gb download for Visual Studio itself. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
