I know that there's some work out there to let Python make use of
Javascript (Spidermonkey) via (I assume) some sort of bridging C/C++
code. Anyone know of efforts to allow the reverse? I'd really like to
make use of Python when doing Mozilla DOM programming, and I can never
get a clear idea of when PyXPCOM might be available to those of us who
don't know the ins and outs of compiling Mozilla, and its XPCOM
structures. So if there was an easy way to simply and quickly pass even
just strings back and forth between Python and Moz Javascript, that
would make certain things a heck of a lot easier.
Thanks,
Ken

Javascript can make requests to the server, and far as I know python
can be used with either cgi or apache to respond to server requests.
Therefore, javascript can easily pass strings to a server side python
script, and it can easily handle data sent back that is formatted as a
string, XML, or JSON. I'm not sure what PyXPCOM is or why it's
relevant.

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.

There are also some compilers for generating JS from Python (or
Python-like) source. The pyjamas project has one (pyjamas is
currently a port of GWT to Python), and I believe PyPy has a JS
backend too. Both of those are serious work but experimental.

I am developing an HTML javascript application and I want to preserve
state in a way that can be book-marked. I chose HTML anchors as a means
of preserving state. When the application changes state, the HTML page
URL would change from default.html to default.html#stateA.

Is there any emerging consensus on the "best" UI for toolkit. Tk
never quite made it but from what I can see, both qt and wxWin are
both doing fairly well in general. I'm already aware of the licensing
issues surrounding qt (fwiw, I think their license fee for commercial
use is eminently reasonable), so aside from that, I was wondering if
there was any feedback readers could provide on the following:

Hi there,
This is my first post over here and I hope someone can give me some
guidance.
I'm trying to embed Python into a Visual C++ 2008 application and I'm
getting linker problems. I've compiled a DLL of the Python source code
using the pythoncode VC++ project in the PCbuild folder of the source
download and this works 100% without any warnings etc. I've done this
in Debug and Release mode without any problems.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
