It's too bad it didn't replace it on this page. Without JavaScript, this page is blank.

#22What is even the need? And it needs JS to work. Not so convincing demo!
You do realize that it's a python interpreter written in Javascript?
No, browsers cannot magically run python now.

Noscript allows you to turn the Javascript off. Requiring javascript to see any content at all is a little absurd.

#24Interesting, but it is little more than a novelty.

#25The way they position Brython is pretty off-putting and kind of confuses the issue. CoffeeScript page: "CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript." Brython page: "Brython is designed to replace Javascript as the scripting language for the Web." Maybe that's the end goal, but the reality is far from it. Of course JS is still required, and of course the Python gets compiled into JS. Finally, the a…
The argument for compiling the Python with the pre-processor seems roughly analogous to traditional arguments for compiling rather than interpreting languages - i.e. how many times the conversion from source code to machine instructions must be done.
One isn't necessarily better than the other - sometimes human generated python source code in the browser may be more useful than machine generated javascript.
If nothing else, it allows us to explore a new way of constructing web apps and determine whether it is better.

Javascript is a prerequisite of the modern web. Refusing to accept that is absurd.

It's not the first time I had to turn on JavaScript to view a page. On the other hand, it is the first time that I have ever done so and discovered a totally logical reason for having to do so.
I got something of value by tweeking NoScript - knowledge, not just ads. Then again, I'm a yokel.

#29Very impressive work!
Issues with the examples:
I got nobody walking on the 3d walker (Chrome on Ubuntu); also it was psychedelic fun clicking into negative territory on the pie chart.

#30I can't believe all the negative comments here. Someone has implemented Python in JavaScript. I personally think that is incredible.
