Mark (and me a little bit) has been sketching out creating a "Python for Mozilla/Firefox" extension for installing an embedded Python into an existing Firefox installation on the pyxpcom list: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/pyxpcom/3167613 > The idea is that there be a separate Python interpreter per web browser page instance. I think there may be scaling issues there. JavaScript isn't doing that is it, do you know? As well, that doesn't seem like it would translate well to sharing execution between separate chrome windows in a non-browser XUL/Mozilla-based app. I don't know how JavaScript is doing it yet. The critical thing for me for this month was trying to come up with a security model. And if you don't think it is going to scale, how do you think it should be done?

Why wouldn't it scale? How much interpreter state is there really
anyway?
