I've got a working version of a Python plugin that
we're cautiously testing with a few clients.

Christian Tismer is also doing some work along 
these lines, and I'm comparing notes with him before
releasing anything.

I'm using the plugin to launch a Python process 
that runs outside the browser, i.e. a wxPython GUI
application.  NPPython.dll downloads Python code 
pointed to by the URL and executes it.  This is 
probably not what a most programmers have in mind 
when they think Netscape/Python/Plugin/Applet, but 
it's more stable (though less secure) since many
programs seem likely to cause the browser to crash.
