    <p>So, I've been searching the topic for quite a while, but I am unable to find out whether it is possible or not. I suspect not, but I need to be sure.</p> <p>What I'm doing: I am building a fancy web app that uses xml, xsl and javascript. However, I need to do some transformation to a text file to convert it into a proper xml file. To do this, I use a python script.</p> <p>What I need: I am working to make as easy as possible the use of the app, but this gets kind of destroyed when the user has to execute a terminal script before anything. I need a graphical IDE for python, but I just don't have time to learn how to make one, and I would love that the entire app would work within the same web environment, much more intuitive for the user. Then, a really easy way to do that would be to use Firefox as the IDE, for example choosing the file to be transformed through it, and launching from there the python script.</p> <p>What I require: I need compatibility only with Firefox. But of course any system capable to install Python and Firefox should work as well. The user would happily install both programs, as long as they have interest in the app.</p> <p>What I don't know: Is that possible, to execute an external python script? If not, for security reasons I imagine, is there any way for the user to allow it? Maybe through the installation of a plugin?</p> <ul> <li>maybe <a href="http://mozex.mozdev.org/" rel="nofollow">http://mozex.mozdev.org/</a> is what I am looking for?</li> </ul> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Gerard</p>
