pyjs - a compiler from Python to JavaScript

[Uri Even-Chen]

Thanks for the feedback. Actually I asked this question also in the
django-users mailing list and Russell Keith-Magee told me about
Brython, Skulpt and PyPy.js (I hope it's OK that I reply to these 3 mailing
lists) but I also asked if I can use JavaScript scripts such as jQuery,
jQuery UI and other jQuery plugins from the scripts in Python and Russell
said it's possible but not practical for production. And I'm thinking about
developing Speedy Mail Software or other projects for production (of course
after the alpha & beta are over) so I guess we are stuck with JavaScript
for the client side programming. And I don't mind if they use a compiler or
an interpreter or any other method to run Python in the client side, as
long as it works. But without using jQuery and other plugins it would be
very hard to use these projects in production.

Uri.
