I can't believe all the negative comments here. Someone has implemented Python in JavaScript. I personally think that is incredible.
This isn't really true. This is far from a Python implementation. At best you could call it a Python-esque syntax to Javascript translator. And that's perhaps still useful. But to call this a Python implementation is quite simply a lie.

I think it's the hubris that's putting people off: > Brython is designed to replace Javascript as the scripting language for the Web
It looks as though, some developers are almost insulted by the idea, that someone tried to replace a language that is so commonly accepted, and that they have worked so hard to master.
This also happens in many other fields of science/technology, but I'm always surprised to see it among programmers who are considered very practical people.

Virtually every browser has Javascript support today. Heck, even Googlebot is executing some Javascript these days.
Noscript allows you to turn the Javascript off. Requiring javascript to see any content at all is a little absurd.

I don't think it is universally true. Myself I know how much I can be taken away by a new technology or knowledge.

edit: except FUD, can you provide some points on which brython is failling, please ?
Is it possible to minify and obfuscate python code?
Python 'compiles' to .pyc files, but I'm not show how much that compresses them, or if it's possible to reconstruct the source from it.

Why is it absurd?
