Any projects to provide Javascript-style client-side browser access via Python?

As long as I know, Mozilla (as Firefox, Thunderbird and Sunbird) can host
Python as an internal scripting language thanks to PyXPCOM (the Python
binding to the XPCOM cross-platform COM technology used by Mozilla). In
this case, you have to recompile Mozilla from source to enable the PyXPCOM
support (that is: you will end up having a "custom" Mozilla to distribute
to your users).
Have a look at www.mozilla.org and www.mozdev.org and/or search for PyXPCOM
on Google.
(Most likely, something like that is available for Konqueror and others
Linux browsers, as well)
