Web based python console.

[Anthony Oliver]

I'm curious if anyone has suggestions on a web based shell offering that is open source?  They have become more frequent over the past year for people to test code.

I'm aware of cloud9 (ACE), but keep in mind this is an in browser editor.  We are using ipython in our application and extending it through our own embedded shell.  We want the shell to be web-based in our application.  I know that ipython recently released notebooks which is pretty much what we want, but it will be a fair amount of work to gut it. I've e-mailed their list and they said it will be some time before they build just a stand alone console.  They are also using websockets and tornado in their implementation, we are using cherrypy so if there is something framework agnostic that would be awesome as well and maybe not websocket dependent as there maybe some IE clients connecting as well.

Any input is appreciated.

I feel like ipython notebook is probably what you want; the JS side seems
pretty good, and communication is via a JSON format so it's easy to hack.
I've certainly been impressed by it.
