I too wonder what happened to Mark Hammond's work on the DOM_AGNOSTIC_2 branch a year or so back. Might be nice to be able to write Firefox extensions in Python. Practically, I know that e.g. the firefox htmltidy extension (I forget the name) contains binaries built from C code, not just JS, so I guess you could write a Firefox extension that embeds CPython in a similar way.
