Yes, that's correct.

It's a web application framework written in Python. I'm not sure how you
would generalize that, unless you're referring to the glue that connects
a local web app with Sugar.

Our size constraints mean that we had to pick one interpreted language
and won't provide others on the machine. Other languages and development
environments will presumably be available to more advanced kids, but
they can't be counted on by third-party application developers,
unfortunately.
