I have been making progress on a few things in the PyDPainter project: Running PyDPainter on the Web I was able to get parts of PyDPainter to run on the web. Here is a screenshot of it running it in a web browser:     As you can see, the mouse pointer has a weird green block around it. Also, bringing up any requester freezes the program, so you can't load and save files for example. It's a start though, and I think it can get full functionality with some more work on it.

I also included some of my simple squiggles just for balance. Running PyDPainter on the Web There is a project called PygBag that allows you to run Python programs in a web browser. I've tried to get PyDPainter running in the past but with no success. I tried again yesterday and had some limited success showing the initial PyDPainter screen but only occasionally. I hope I can get a version of PyDPainter running on the web soon. That would really lower the barrier to entry for people who would want to try it out...
