Browser plug-in for Python?

[Bill Janssen]

Yes, thanks, back in the day I used Grail and played with rexec.

I notice that one of the Summer of Code projects was to recreate
rexec, but don't know if it was funded.

Presumably a Firefox plug-in for Python would restrict the execution
environment in some safe way, and provide some kind of UI toolkit API
so that the Python program could draw on the area given to the
plug-in.  If I were doing it, I'd probably add something like Joel
Bartlett's "ezd" drawing system (see
http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/Compaq-DEC/WRL-91-6.pdf), replacing
the Scheme used in ezd with Python.
