Perhaps we need a pythonic FRONTEND. If you're meant to be able to run java code in a browser vm; and flash; and javascript...why not a reduced version of python?
I'm thinking a sandboxed interpreter, perhaps based on EmbeddedPython, and a restricted set of classes; core logic, string and maths, some good graphics stuff (perhaps similar to nodebox), SSL support, filesystem access to a cache, network, xml, soap support. A standard model for development defining graphic entities on one hand, and controls on the other that the graphics are bound to. Perhaps a single class for "RemoteControls" covering web service calls intended to be bound to a graphical entity at one end and a mod_python function at the other? Force pre-compiling into .pyc; include an app to do interactive interpreter in a browser and some basic IDE functions with each plugin download. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
