The app would have basic IDE for writing and debugging the python code, but the interpretation, of course, would be done in JavaScript. I'd like to avoid any client-server transactions, so all the interpretation should take place on the client side. The purpose of all this would be to create educational platform for learning the programming in python.

I don't have any good ideas for how to do this, but I do have a warning. 
  The JavaScript security model prohibits a lot of things that Python 
does not prohibit.  So if you need to do anything like access a file on 
the user's machine or talk to some computer other than the one you came 
from, it won't work.
