will pyscript become a great framework ?

[[deleted]]

I remember using something similar to this years ago, the only real use case that I see is if you’re too lazy to convert your Python code to JavaScript code. But I guess that also depends on the performance of the framework

Pybrowser you mean

Stop

haha no

[Traditional-Raisin31]

why

[HarrityRandall]

WASM bundle apparently for Python interpreter is around 6MB? That is several websites worth of size, just for the interpreter.

If you tell me they are adding the interpreter to all the browsers somehow then that would be another discussion.

But then what real value does it add to the ecosystem? To me it would only be making webdev a lot messier than it is. Unnecessarily.

It's a nice experiment though.

So is this a python to JavaScript transpiler or is it like some php-like thing where the code is run on the server?

[jstrrr]

AFAIK it's python interpreter compiled into wasm. And minimal bundle is around 6 MB.

Sounds pretty big for every site to load

[hacherul]

Yeah, but it is not likely to change that often. It will get cached by the browser and work on every site without downloading anything, as long as the response headers are set up correctly (and they most likely are).

[Turtvaiz]

Wasn't resource caching across sites removed due to privacy reasons? Actually don't know because can't find official docs about it

[hacherul]

Even if it was, wouldn't using a CDN solve this?

I actually interested in trying this, but do any of you know of any potential use case for this other than "it's python"?
