[$] Introducing PyScript
In a keynote at PyCon 2022 in SaltLake City, Utah, Peter Wang introduced another entrant in the field ofin-browser Python interpreters. The Python community has long sought a wayto be able to write Python-instead of JavaScript-to run in web browsers, and therehave been various efforts to do so over the years. Wang announced PyScript as a new framework, built atopone of those earlier projects, to allowPython scripting directly within the browser; those programs have access tomuch of the existing Python ecosystem as well as being able to interactwith the browser document object model (DOM) directly. In addition, he gave some rather eye-opening demonstrations as part of the talk.
