It did. Mark Hammond embedded Python under MSIE about the same time javascript and java applets came along (94, maybe?) It didn't fly because of political and marketing problems, I think. One technical killer was that C-Python can be crashed relatively easily by malicious code, and browser providers don't like that too much. Also, the stuff you need to do to make it crash proof would make the interpreter a lot slower (which may be why javascript is pretty slow). -- Aaron Watters === http://www.xfeedme.com/nucular/pydistro.py/go?FREETEXT=msie+de-facto+recognized+dim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
