Javascript can make requests to the server, and far as I know python can be used with either cgi or apache to respond to server requests. Therefore, javascript can easily pass strings to a server side python script, and it can easily handle data sent back that is formatted as a string, XML, or JSON. I'm not sure what PyXPCOM is or why it's relevant. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
