I think you may find it a little time consuming to reimpliment python in javascript. I'm inclined to say "go for it" though since you may create something awesome in the process ;) If you want to take an easier route, may I point out pythonanywhere.com? It doesn't run in the browser but does give safe access to multiple python interpreters and from my own use I can say that it works pretty well. You can even set up web apps using it. For educational purposes it might be helpful to you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
