I would expect better. While the idea of having the Python interpreter in the browser is very likely better than having a compiler Python -&amp;#62; JS (if we care about Python), the implementation here is both half assed and really bad. It takes quite a bit of effort to create a python interpreter that can be called python. This is nowhere near there. On top of it double-interpretation in dynamic languages is very slow and I doubt someone is willing to pay that price here. A good example of low quality is here:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/brython/source/browse/trunk/py_classes.js#140&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://code.google.com/p/brython/source/browse/trunk/py_clas...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;this is both incorrect (exceptions are propagated, &lt;a href=&quot;http://paste.pound-python.org/show/28457/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://paste.pound-python.org/show/28457/&lt;/a&gt;) and has wrong complexity. It&apos;s not even a dict at all!</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Brython - Python to Javascript translator</title><url>http://www.brython.info/index_en.html</url></story>
