Looks to me like you got hooked :-) Would be great to see any proof of concept 
port of let's say a simple plugin like the xdt viewer.

I guess it would be a lot of work to start by repacing the whole GNUmed GUI in 
one go but you could attempt to make a plugin run by porting as much as 
needed.

I have talekd to the pyjamas author a little and it seems it is still not 
quite as easy as I have thought. The short version is.

There will never ever be a way to access python direclty inside the browser. 
There is a bridge (xpcom if I am right) to rewrite the application to talk to 
python for database access and stuff but there is no way to access psycopg2 or 
PIL or any of these modules directly from within the browser. So from my 
limited knowledge I would say that one has to write some more bridging code to 
feed any data from the database to the browser.
