Pyodide vs Brython

[Lennart Borgman]

I just noticed pyodide (again). Do you know about it? How does this compare to Brython?

Dan,

It seems that the page hasn't been updated for some time regarding Brython:

- str.format(), generators have been supported for years now; generally, Brython is now compliant with the Python language specification (currently 3.9.x), with the few limitations related to the browser environment

- most of the stdlib is also supported, except for the modules written in C for which no pure-Python or Javascript equivalent is available (cf. this compatibility table)

- the interface with the DOM is through the browser module (the use of Brython-specific keywords such as "doc" and "window" has been removed #5 years ago)

- the interface with ECMAscript code is through browser.window, not JSObject (again for a few years)

Could you update this information ?

- Pierre

Taking a closer look at the page, it seems that the landscape of Python-in-the-browser projects once was very crowdy, but many of them have disappeared, are officially abandonned, or have been inactive for a very long time. So maybe a refresh of the page would be a good idea - including possible new projects.

I've updated it. If you have a moment to vet the changes that'd be terrific.

It remains at https://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/pybrowser/python-browser.html

Yes, the Brython row is ok now, thank you !

Hi,

I would like to highlight that PyOdide is actively developed. What it
is not developed anymore is Iodide [1].

Also, Skulpt supports Python3 (3.7.3 ATM) [2].

Dan, would it be possible to have this comparison as a repo so others
can update it and you can receive help from others?

Thanks.

Kind regards.
