No. The focus, at least for my part, will continue to be on a framework  
and set of tools and samples for building simple desktop applications.

I think the only way that would work is if someone made a plug-in that  
combined Python, wxPython, and PythonCard and even then I don't know  
all the details that would be required to make it actually work, let  
alone be something that users would actually download and install. I  
think someone (probably Robin) did a wxPython player at one time in the  
past, but I don't know of any current efforts. The solution would  
likely end up as something Windows and browser-specific.

Neil Hodgson did a test in the early days of PythonCard that utilized  
the PythonCard resource files with MS IE called Pyker. You can read  
Neil's description here as well as see the old files in the cvs attic  
(deleted files) section of the old prototype.
