Client-side web scripting in Python?

[Brad Clements]

Have I already suggested taking a look at IBM's SASH?

http://sash.alphaworks.ibm.com

Don't be put off by "Javascript runtime" on the front page. I've gotten them
to make up an example or two showing how to embed Python into Sash
weblications, just like using IE.

Some things that put Sash ahead of the curve (in concept, if not in actual
practice)

1. Sash weblications are self-packaging CABS, the runtime includes it's own
security engine so you can distribute self-installing weblications from a
web page, yet when they run they *can* (but don't have to), have .hta like
access to the system. In particular, you can partition the access into
categories and levels.

2. Sash has built-in support for XML-RPC and Soap (and yes, the xml-rpc
works with Zope) .. Haven't tried SOAP yet still waiting for Brian's stuff.

3. Weblications can be "hosted" in other web pages, in various parts of the
Windows desktop such as toolbar, system tray, search/find, etc. Not just an
.hta style window.

4. There's a group working on a Linux implementation

Now, if I could convince them to drop javascript and substitute Python as
the native code engine I'd be thrilled.

I'm  currently doing a bit of XML-RPC from Zope to IE (6) sending
xml_pickle's to IE for XSLT processing. Dreaming of having TAL in xsl.

Paul, I'm interested in seeing what you've done too.
