Online Emulator at NBER

[feenberg]

The online policyengine-taxsim program now accepts files in addition to
the filled-in form. It is the default at txmlinux now.

http://txmlinux.nber.org
There isn't any security or restriction on this page at the moment, but it
isn't linked from anywhere, which I think will do for the time being.

It is also possible to use ssh protocol:

ssh policyengine@txmlinux.nber.org <txpydata.raw >results.raw
I should thank Al for help, especially pointing out that "pip3.12 show"
was available to show the version numbers.

Something to think about...This leaves integrating Policyengine and
Taxsim, such that a single input dataset can include reocrds for both
calculators. I have a Taxsim dll version and can write up some
documentation as soon as Al is ready to start on adding calls to Taxsim
into the emulator. Nevertheless, there will be a problem with this - I
write error messages from Fortran, and I don't think that will be allowed
by Python. Either the emulator could check input for validity, or I could
find another way to transmit the details of an error. Either way, it will
require some additional thought and conversation.
