There are some neat things you can do to get around this limitation,
at least a little bit.  There are at least two places you can bring up
an interactive python interpreted right inside a web browser.

http://try-python.mired.org/  Appears to be a python 2.5.2 interpreter
embedded in a web page.

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ironpython/silverlight-console/console.html
This one is an IronPython interpreter (I don't know what version),
embedded via SilverLight.

I'm pretty sure that both of those are pretty limited in
functionality, but you can at least play with some basic functionality
without having python installed locally.
