[Zope-Moz] Python Interpreter in Mozilla

[brk@jenkon.com]

On Martijn Faasen's advice, I took a quick look at:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/src/perlconnect/README.html

Which is a way to use Perl from Javascript. It's interesting, but it seems
to be for operations such as:

<script language = 'Javascript'>
p = new Perl()
p.eval(<some perl stuff>)
</script>

Whereas I'm looking to be able to do something more like:

<script language = 'Python'><![CDATA[
def foo():
	print "Hello, world."
]]></script>

Any ideas where to start? Anyone capable of giving an architectural overview
of what this would take?
