Oh, yuck! Now we have to explain why PythonScript is safe, and JavaScript
sucks rocks (from a security standpoint). And from common web convention,
it would appear that PythonScript would run on the client side, rather
than the server side. Since the -let suffix appears to have taken on
a server side connotation, perhaps that can be used.
Python Function is not quite right, as it is fairly common (for me, at
least) to define some helper functions in a Python Method. But it is
better than Python Script.
So, I guess my preferences would be:
PythonSafeScriptlet
PythonScriptlet
PythonSafeScript
PythonSafeFunction
PythonFunction
PythonBundle
PythonMethod
PythonScript
in descending order of preference.
