It was originally built as part of the Flexx framework and now stands as a standalone tool. The compiler takes Python functions and classes and outputs equivalent JavaScript code, allowing developers to write browser-facing code using Python syntax and semantics.\n\nThe package is pure Python with no external dependencies, making installation trivial. It targets modern browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge) and Internet Explorer 9 and above, though some newer Python constructs like async/await do not work in older browsers. The generated JavaScript handles Python-specific features like default arguments and prints to the browser console. It is actively maintained and used in production projects like TimeTagger.app.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to write browser code in Python. The package has no dependencies, installs cleanly, is actively maintained, and solves a real problem for teams that prefer Python syntax. The main gotcha is that only a Python subset compiles\u2014you need to verify your code will translate before committing to this approach."},"id":"pscript","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pscript","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pscript.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pscript/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"pscript","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python to JavaScript compiler."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":284719,"position":8061,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.8.1"}
