Ask HN: Is there any interest in a full stack web framework written in Python?
Something like Meteor:
https://www.meteor.com
This would be using something like Brython on the client-side:
http://brython.info
The idea is that you would have a full stack web framework that shared as much code as possible between the client and server. The client-side Python would then be compiled into JavaScript using Brython or similar. Include first-class support for web sockets. I would also like an API similar in feel to something like PySide/PyQT.
Is there already a web framework using Python on the client-side? If so, I haven't found it yet. Thinking of starting a project like this and want to gauge interest.
- cjbprime 10y agoBrython's too slow. It's not reasonable to push an entire Python-to-JavaScript compiler to your clients on every page load!
- kolanos 10y agoBrython's performance doesn't seem that bad: https://brythonista.wordpress.com/2015/03/28/comparing-the-speed-of-cpython-brython-skulpt-and-pypy-js/ https://brythonista.wordpress.com/2015/03/28/comparing-the-s... And Brython supports dynamic loading of modules, so you don't need the entire ~2MB stdlib at load. Where Brython falls short for me is CLI tooling. I would like to be able to just point a CLI tool at my source directory and have it compiled into JS with all the stdlib modules used included. Brython supports pre-compilation, so the only thing missing is the CLI tools.
