PythonSilverScripting: Silverlight apps in the browser with Python

Tarn Barford is an Australian blogger and programmer who uses IronPython. He’s created a Google App Engine site for experimenting with IronPython in the browser (through Silverlight).

PythonSilverScripting lowers the barriers to building Silverlight applications so anyone from high school kids to seasoned programmers can have fun writing Silverlight applications in Python from within a browser!

Below is a simple script that creates a Silverlight application, sets the background blue and adds a TextBlock element with the text “Hello World”.

He’s also blogged about the new site, including his future plans for it:

PythonSilverScripting is based on crazy idea I have that it should be possible to make Silverlight applications in Python on the web. No tools, no SDKs.. just a browser (and obviously the Silverlight browser plug-in).
