Server code running in web browser ("LAN mode"?)

[satoshinm]

The server code server.py is written in Python, find out how it can be finagled to run in a web browser ala Craft written C compiled using emscripten, so users can host games in the browsers.

• http://www.skulpt.org looks promising: "Skulpt is an entirely in-browser implementation of Python. No preprocessing, plugins, or server-side support required, just write Python and reload.
• http://pyjs.org "pyjs contains a Python-to-JavaScript compiler"
• https://github.com/jallwine/emscripten_test/wiki/Compiling-python-with-emscripten - CPython built with emscripten, perhaps overkill
• Rewrite in JavaScript by hand?

Would be more useful after https://github.com/satoshinm/NetCraft/issues/12 multiplayer support in web, to allow LAN-style parties

The Python server code itself included (server.py) doesn't necessarily need to be ported, there is now also https://github.com/satoshinm/WebSandboxMC written in Java but works on popular Bukkit servers including the open source Glowstone, I think it's a good bet for a server solution. Though that doesn't solve "running the server in a web browser", essentially the same as https://github.com/satoshinm/NetCraft/issues/16
