#80865 — [ANN] Brython 3.0.0 relased

Hi,

Version 3.0.0 of Brython has been released recently

Brython is an implementation of Python 3 running in the browser, with an interface to DOM elements and events. It allows writing web client applications with Python instead of Javascript.

Python programs are inserted in the HTML page inside tags <script type="text/python">. The code is translated into Javascript on the fly and executed, without any pre-compilation step.

Brython is *real* Python, supporting most of the Python syntax including comprehensions, generators, descriptors, classes with multiple inheritance, metaclasses etc. Dozens of modules from the Python standard distribution are included unmodified in the Brython distribution.

Performance has been much improved since the first versions. A loop like

a = 0
for i in range(10000000):
    a += 1

now runs slighlty faster with Brython than with CPython 3.3.

For an overview you can take a look at the online slideshow http://brython.info/slideshow/en/

A timely notification! I have just introduced some server-side Python to
my son and was about to start talking about client-side JavaScript.
We'll give Brython a spin, instead.

I'll spread the message at the office as well.

I just recently started experimenting with Brython to create WebGL apps.  I've done straight OpenGL via Python for *years* and wanted to leverage that knowledge and code for WebGL without getting any deeper into Javascript than necessary.

I'm happy to report that Brython worked perfectly, seamlessly providing Python calls to (the JavaScript API) WebGL.  Amazingly well done!
