[Python-Dev] CPython in the web browser under Native Client

[tav]

Hey Mark,

Really glad to see that you carried on with this -- great work!!

I guess the elders will simply say that it's history repeating itself,
but Grails 2.0 is looking promising! We can finally give that upstart
Javascript a run for its money (despite ES5 looking nice...) -- not to
mention Google Wave/Opera Unite/etc.

Now, the real blocker is accessing the DOM from Python. I haven't
looked into the source code deeply, but perhaps Kroll could be of
help:

I was able to do the following with Titanium Desktop (which uses it)
to access the DOM from Python:

<script type="text/python">
  def hello(s):
      document.getElementById('foo').innerHTML = s
</script>
<div> Hello <div id="foo">World</div></div>
<script>hello("tav")</script>

Anyways, I'm sure others might have a better idea of integrating
Python and the DOM.

Well done again!
