Something that I couldn't understand from appcelerator website:
If I use appcelerator to write a client-side python application for the web, will it require that users have silverlight installed on their machines?

Where are you getting this information from, a link to the documentation in question could be very helpful. – rivenate247 May 28 '11 at 18:07

@Brian I got this idea from this sentence: "AppCelerator's Titanium provides support for , using IronPython and Silverlight. " which is written in "Embedding Python inside Web Browsers" section in http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebBrowserProgramming. It says that it uses silverlight, but I was not sure whether users need to install silverlight on their machines, or maybe a different plugin from appcelerator, or maybe silverlight is somehow embedded inside the website itself. Anyway, I got the answer from appcelerator developer center now. – Sunny88 May 28 '11 at 20:33

Apparently I can't answer my own question for 8 hours, so i'll have to wait a bit before answering. – Sunny88 May 28 '11 at 20:35

I eagerly await but I don't think you need IronPython to use Appcelerator, I just think you need to put it in the script and it's good to go. – rivenate247 May 28 '11 at 22:09

I got the answer from appcelerator developer center:
The php/python/ruby scripts are executed in the context of the Titanium Desktop. So you will need to run it inside a session of Ti Desktop application, and not on a webpage.
Ti Desktop is a modified webkit that knows how to handle this scripts.
So apparently this tag is not for websites.
