A comment on Python, client side: Skulpt. Parent comment

What version of the language is this and what subset of stuff works, it seems like everything I try gives me some kind of error, maybe I'm just picking the wrong things.

like it lets me create a dictionary but if I try to call the iterkeys() method it doesn't like that, and the built-in function dir() doesn't work. It has range() but not xrange()?

Cool none the less.

The version is the "still lame" version where I haven't implemented those functions yet. :)

Parser-wise it's 2.6.2, but those functions you mention are in C code in real-Python, so I need to (re-)write them in JS. You can see the list of supported global functions and method functions if you grab the source off bitbucket.

(Incidentally, "for x in a_dict" will work the same as iterkeys currently)
