If you are interested in running Python code from a web-based form, you need IronPython and Silverlight (or moonlight on Linux).<br>IronPython is a full implementation of Python running on the Microsoft CLI engine.<br><a href="http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ironpython/silverlight/index.shtml#python-interactive-interpreter-in-a-browser">ironpython in a browser</a><br>

Hi Matt,<br>
<br>
If your or anyone has an idea of the problems that they would like to see algebra students solving with python, I can volunteer to help create a Singpath.com path focused on algebra. There are already a lot of math problems in the Beginner Python path (drag-n-drop python) and the main Python path (write 3 to 10 line python solutions).<br>
<br>
In Singpath you wouldn't get to see graphical results, but everything would be web-based on work from most browsers ( not IE).<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Chris Boesch<br>
