• Reviving PyMiniRacer: A Python <> JavaScript Bridge

  On a related note, Brython lets you run Python in the browser through JavaScript. You can even see Python in the HTML with “text/python” SCRIPT tags. https://brython.info/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Is Python a better alternative for JavaScript??

  For frontend there is Brython. It is a Python interpreter written in JavaScript that allows embedding Python scripts in to HTML much like you would with JavaScript. Source: 5 months ago

• WASM: Big Deal or Little Deal?

  I'm rooting for WASM to win. One of the things that discouraged me from Front-end Web Development is JavaScript weirdness. It just has too many pitfalls and it's very hard to debug for a newcomer unless you study a proper JS course that tells you precisely all of these traps before you get burned. I've never found a programming language that didn't behave like I expected it on first touch, except for JS. I am... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• How does PyScript actually work?

  This is the primary difference between Pyodide and projects like Transcrypt or Brython: rather than transpiling to JavaScript, you get the real-deal CPython interpreter running client-side in the user's browser. There are a few things that don't work out of the box, since CPython usually runs on a computer and the Browser environment has some unique restrictions (lack of low-level access to networking, for one),...

• Is Python a bad programming language?

  Web frontend is doable. See Brython. Still a bit of a performance hit though. The big standard library is a burden if you have to download it. Source: 12 months ago

• Python in the browser with Pyscript

  Pyscript is a Python library that allows you to write Python code that is executed in the browser. It is based on Brython and Pyodide and can be used to write interactive web pages, games, and much more.It provides a simple and easy-to-use interface for developers to write Python code that is compiled into JavaScript and runs in the browser. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• What are some free ways to run python 24x7?

  Depends on exactly what you want to do, but some applications can run entirely on the front end. You could host that for free on something like GitHub pages. You can use things like PyScript or Brython to convert to Wasm or JavaScript. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is it possible to create a Google chrome extension with Python?

  Browser extensions are made with Javascript, but maybe python is possible using brython. I'm not sure though, I never try myself. Source: about 1 year ago

• Launch HN: Pynecone (YC W23) – Web Apps in Pure Python

  Plan probably is around a hosted apps model where apps can be embedded in iframes or similar. Vercel to fly, everyone is basically selling a flavour of Heroku with a desirable outcome of lower maintenance overhead. But yes, it is a tradeoff and the abstractions underneath are leaky. It is not just React but NextJS and then the whole NodeJS ecosystem which is surely one of the most challenging ones. That client/web... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• How can you be mean and funny at the same time

  Actually, yes, but through an iframe with the source being a file with the code in it. Look into FastCGI. Also, like Javascript, you can use python on web pages. Look into Brython. Source: over 1 year ago

• Which other programming language best complements Python - Rust, Go, or something else?

  But, there's JS has been optimized well over the years. I know it and don't like it much, either (ugly syntax, goofy asynchronous setup), but there's no denying its till-now command over the web navigator ecosystem. However, if WebAssembly jumps a version (to handle strings better, for instance), the question will eventually die down entirely. If you want to do JavaScript without doing JavaScript (i.e., still...

• A First Look at PyScript: Python in the Web Browser – Real Python

  The Brython homepage loads brython.js which is ~800KB and brython_stdlib.js which is 4.23MB, so Brython is actually smaller. Source: almost 2 years ago

• PyScript - Run Python in your Browser!

  Python formerly lacked front-end capabilities in comparison to other languages such as JavaScript. However, Python programmers have created libraries (such as Brython) to let their favourite language run on the web. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• I Tested PyScript — And You Can Literally Write Python Scripts In Your Browser

  It's great to see more options for Python in the browser but the ecosystem has existed for a while. If anyone is interested, there are some cool Python-in-the-browser implementations like Brython and Skulpt that are worth checking out. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I am trying to get python and HTML to run a website however my code is not working and I don't know why (it is showing the code instead)

  But maybe it should be. Have a look at Brython, which does work in a very similar way to that. https://brython.info/. Source: about 2 years ago
