Python in Mozilla

By:

Mark will discuss the recent work done on Mozilla to support other scripting languages, and specifically Python. A brief overview of the Mozilla XPCOM and XUL technologies will be given, and how Python fits with these core tecnologies will be discussed. Finally, a brief example of a Mozilla GUI application written in Python will be analysed.

The talk is aimed at people familiar with Python and some kind of GUI application framework. A knowledge of the Mozilla technoligies is not required. This will be a slightly edited version of a talk (to be) given as OSCON 2006 in Portland OR.
