Grail was a free extensible multi-platform web browser written in the Python programming language. The project was started in August 1995, with its first public release in November of that year.[3] The .3 beta contained over 27,000 lines of Python.[3] Its last release was of version 0.6 in 1999, with latest version under development.
One of the major distinguishing features of Grail was the ability to run client-side Python code, in much the same way as mainstream browsers run client-side JavaScript code.[4][5]
[edit] Future developments
Grail is currently being developed by SourceForge member Visual-101 as of 7 October 2007. No release date available for next version.[citation needed]
