I would not completely give up on the idea of Python itself running in the browser, although obviously there have been lots of false starts. http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2007_04_28.shtml#e702 Regarding using Python to generate JavaScript, I just get nervous any time code generation happens. While JS is not a perfect language, it's tolerably close to Python in lots of cases, and if you have a Python back end, you can feed it JSON very easily from Python. To the extent that JS code incorporates lots of cross-platform idiosyncracies, I still think the strategy there is to dig into JS and learn how to encapsulate those within JS itself. -- Steve ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?
