Python: An Interactive Shell Extension for Chrome

'Python' is a Chrome extension that offers an interactive interpreter for Python 2.7. Developed using Native Client, it creates a versatile and direct Python environment within your browser. Despite some limitations – such as not supporting DSOs or ctypes and lack of a persistent file system – the extension offers several noteworthy features. These include a split package for smaller downloads, bug fixes, home directory persistence, and more. The Python extension is part of the naclports project and is regularly updated to provide the best experience for Python enthusiasts.
