If you are interested in running Python code from a web-based form, you need IronPython and Silverlight (or moonlight on Linux). IronPython is a full implementation of Python running on the Microsoft CLI engine. ironpython in a browser<http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ironpython/silverlight/index.shtml#python-intera...> -- Vernon Cole On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 4:00 AM, <edu-sig-request@python.org> wrote:

Hi Matt,
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).
In Singpath you wouldn't get to see graphical results, but everything would be web-based on work from most browsers ( not IE).

This is a good subject to revisit, on web based Python. I like his interest in Python+math, too. Andy

Hi,
As long as Python environments are on the table...
Does anyone know if there is a web-based Python environment available? I am working to weave together the traditional, analytical approach to math with a computational approach. I call the approach CAAMPS (Computationally Augmented Approach to Math and Problem Solving). The first implementation will be for sixth grade public schools with average, high-stakes math scores in the 2nd quartile (25th - 50th percentiles).
Getting software installed on K-12 computers can be very difficult. To avoid that collection of problems, I would like to be able to host a development environment on my own servers, so the students will need nothing more than a web browser (and Internet connection). Does anyone know of any off-the-shelf solutions? Though I'm leaning toward Python, I'm not yet committed.
By the way, I previously posted a link to a long essay, "The Four Pillars Upon Which the Failure of Math Education Rests (and what to do about them)," describing the state of math education and the basis for CAAMPS:
www.k12math.org/doc.php?doc=**4pillars-si< http://www.k12math.org/doc.php?doc=4pillars-si>
In the interest of brevity, I have boiled it down in an Executive Summary:
www.k12math.org/doc.php?doc=**4pillars-summary-si< http://www.k12math.org/doc.php?doc=4pillars-summary-si>
Comments are always appreciated.
Cheers, Matt

You might consider having a look at Crunchy (
http://code.google.com/p/crunchy). If you find that it might be suitable, but need help in setting it up or modifying it (slightly), just send me an email. André
