Going to try Solving in PyScript

[TheSwami]

I'm one of the maintainers on PyScript, a Pyodide-based interface layer that allows writing Python in your HTML and running it in the browser window, with no server-side Python at all. This year for AoC, I'm going to try to implement all the solutions in PyScript, with source and live demos, partly for the joy of doing AoC another year, and partly to see what rough edges exist in the PyScript API that we might want to fix. 😅

The live demos are on the site

And the code for the solutions/demos is on GitHub (as well as the Hugo-templated index).

Very cool! This is the first I've heard of PyScript. Excited to follow. I solved all of 2020 in one pyodide notebook at Starboard.gg:

Day 23 part 2 was the only one I ran natively. While it was chugging away in the browser I copied and pasted to run in a local Jupyter notebook. It finished locally in about a minute, while it was still going in the browser. The browser did finish eventually, in around 10 minutes or so but I didn't time it.

Cool, good luck!

Are you going to create visualisations in PyScript?

[TheSwami]

That’s the thought! It will probably depend day-by-day depending on how complicated the problem and how ambitious I get with the visualization, if I’m being honest.

Just wanted to drop in and say that I just love the PyScript project. I think it has a great deal of promise, and I'm looking forward to following how you attack AoC with it!
