While i find this cool,and putting aside the fact that it's a Microsoft specific extension since this is covered in other comments, i really doubt of the utility of python as a client side language. The only advantage i can see is language homogenization between server and client code, if your web app is in python. Python doesn't have a sane syntax for anonymous functions, which i use a lot in event driven code because imho they make the code clearer. That's arguably a small drawback, but the advantages also seems scarce from my perspective. Of course there are python niceties like list comprehensions, but i would much rather use CoffeeScript if i need a step up in syntax from Javascript, since it has very nice support for anonymous functions, and a whole lot of other things, being designed precisely for this purpose. What do you guys think ? Why would you like to use python scripts ?
