It's a great project! I use it to power the Python interpreter for an in-browser backend of an app I'm working on. I wrote a bit more about my experience using it (and a guide for others) here: https://datastation.multiprocess.io/blog/2021-06-16-languages-you-can-run-in-the-browser.html https://datastation.multiprocess.io/blog/2021-06-16-language.... My biggest gripe is that so far I haven't been able to get good stacktraces out of it on errors. It also wraps all objects in custom Brython types that you have to rewrap in Python types to do stuff like get `.keys()` on JavaScript objects.

Yeah. Like I said, it could really do with more contributors who can work on these issues and add keep adding features. rayluo who is a major contributor (developed brip to support using regular PyPi packages with brython), for example, works at Microsoft, and most probably does this in his spare time. More people like this can help bring Brython up even more, so there's a majority coverage for what JS can do, with Brython. Joining their Groups forum really shows you how much they're working and how much they're dedicated to this. This is only going to keep growing, if more devs and contributors hop onto the project even in their spare time.

  Fantastic there is brip, I like to check in on Brython from time to time, and the lack of something like Brip was one reason I haven't been able to use it more. I guess being able to take the C parts of extensions and have them compiled with emscripten would be a logical step further.
