You might look for chat programs. IIRC Twisted includes a demo chat server.

I was just thinking that I'm sure I've seen Python and Ruby interpreters implemented in javascript or something like that. Thanks, I'll check it out. I guess the problem may be that I don't really want to give the user access to a full Python shell, that sounds exploitable. But I'll look into it. If not, I guess I'll have to learn javascript instead. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

For small apps I'd suggest biting the bullet and learning JavaScript and coding it in the browser. The next best thing is either a Java applet - which can be written in Jython - or an Ajax application. Both of these have a steepish learning curve which is why I suggest learning JavaScript! the entire page to be reloaded every time there's an input or output. So am I looking at ajax, javascript, etc.? I'm a little bit lost, not knowing what's available out there. Yes I think one of JavaScript, Jython, or Ajax will be best. I believe that Django supports Ajax and I know TurboGears does. If you go the JavaScript route check out Mochikit which makes JS more like Python!
