This is a laudable effort, but I'm not a fan of shipping the entire interpreter. I looked around a few weeks ago and found https://transcrypt.org, which compiles your Python script to JS, so size is minimal. It's great for shipping small, internal tools/apps, I love how maintainable they are by all the Python devs, plus they're very fast to load and execute. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
How is the Python being run by the browser? Several impressive projects bring Python to the browser, such as Brython, Transcrypt, Skulpt, Pyodide. PySketch uses Brython that compiles Python to JavaScript in the browser. You can take a look at this article about technologies and comparisons if you want to learn more. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
I have a Python program that takes user input from the console and shows some results on the console, and I want the user to be able to type stuff into it instead of pre-recorded runs. How do I do that? I'm not really sure. You could have a copy of Python running on the server and have the front-end communicating with it, but you'd have to be sure it's secured -- there are a lot of dangerous Python commands...

For web apps: in my experience, there are tools that convert Python into JavaScript or try to make Python run inside a web browser like Brython and Transcrypt. These have been VERY awkward or painfully slow, so I would strongly discourage their use in practical web development. Source: almost 3 years ago
A while back, I posted about my initial foray into using Python to develop front-end web applications with React by using the Transcrypt transpiler. Python in the Browser Part of the initial learning process I went through was doing the official React tutorial, but using Python for the code instead of JavaScript. When I did that, I adhered to the structure of the application that was used in the tutorial... - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago
Fun fact: LiveScript is a FP-oriented language which compiles to JavaScript. It's been around for a while now :-) https://livescript.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
Too late. The name was taken when it was free. https://livescript.net/ (But seems inactive judging by GitHub). Actually a mostly quite nice little toy language. (Only the OOP part seems messed up a little bit; but besides that it looks quite clean). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I've been doing some research in this area: for day-to-day, quick and dirty, scripting purposes, if not Python, then what? I want something expressive: Python can be a bit verbose by default and isn't very good at oneliners. I want something that starts up fast, but can run a bit slower. It would be great if it had a REPL, but if compilation and/or startup are fast enough its lack would also be acceptable. The... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
LiveScript (https://livescript.net/) does this, amongst many other things (mostly CoffeeScript-inspired). I used it quite a bit and enjoyed it a lot. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
JavaScript is an extremely elegant language. It's syntax is relatively simple and extremely flexible. This has lead to things like CoffeeScript, LiveScript, and the explosion of transpiling. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
