in your browser. The only reliable way to run code in a browser is
to use JavaScript.
AFAIK MS Silverlight allows you to run .NET languages in your
browser,
But how many browsers currently support Silverlight?
After all IE supports VBScript too but its the only one.
Eventually Silverlight may become ubiquitous but for
now the only *reliable* way to write client code is JavaScript.
Flash runs ActionScript.
Flash is a valid point although somewhat limited in practice - I
wouldn't
want to write a general purpose app in Actionscript!
Also the point made about a Jython applet is good too.
That might in fact be the best route to Python in a browser.
Although Java applets seem to have fallen out of favour lately...
