Client-side web scripting tends to have a callback/continuation-ish concurrency style because it has to deal with network transactions (which can stall for long periods of time) in a user interface that is expected to stay always responsive. The Firefox API is full of listeners/observers, events, and continuation-like things. So one thing to consider is that, when Python is used for these purposes, it may be written in a specialized style.

You could even call it a Twisted style :-)
