[Chicago] Python in the browser IDE

Sat Mar 29 18:57:38 CET 2014

Thank you, Sheila and Carl.

Carl, yes that code does fail as urllib is not included in Codeskultor
which is only a fairly specific subset of Python for the Rice course.

Sheila, that is my plan going into next week.  I took a quick look last
night after coming home from a blues performance and am going out for a
matinee today.  Hopefully I can stay on track and at least get some of the
small arrival programs working in the browser this week.
