C# and Python. > Hello Lawrence; I tried to find if one can run Python inside a browser, like one can do with Java, but could not find a way. Looked at all the Phyton sites and wiki, etc... Do you know of a way, or if this might be something in the works for the future of Python? Witout the ability to run Python directly inside the browser (in a VM like env.), then I do not see how Python can be considered a viable solution for the new rich internet applications computing world we are supposed to be moving to, where Javascript and HTML5 are the prefered tools of development since they are browser friendly/native things. At least, Java can run inside the browser since it has a VM, but Python can't, at least not today? or Am I wrong on this? --Nasser
