Running Python within a Firefox Extension

[joshua...@gmail.com]

Hello all.

I am looking for a way/wondering if it is possible to run a Python
script within a Firefox extension.

So far, I have worked out the way to do this would probably be to
change the script type to Python and link to a python script, but I am
not sure if this is even possible.

It would be really good if this is possible, and even better if it is
possible to link to some extensions.

Thanks!

No this is not possible in any released versions of Firefox. There was
some work done on trunk (which will become Firefox 3), but even then I
believe the python bindings are not (yet?) built by default and in any
case the Python runtime will not be bundled with Fx.

Is it then possible to run C++ within Firefox extensions? I need to be
able to run Python, C or C++ within a extension to be able to do what
I need to do. When doing some reseach, I think I found 1. a few pages
about adding C++, and 2. another extension with C++ binaries
(FlashGot).

Thanks!

Yes, look for XPCOM resources.
