Skulpt does require a VM, but e.g. Brython, RapydScript, PyJs and a few others do not.

Transcrypt seems to maintain a closer correspondence between source python and javascript, making debugging perhaps a little easier. But it doesn't look like it brings anything significantly new to the table.

The big thing it brings to the table is file size. The overhead is a few kilobytes, whereas the Brython runtime (the other smallest one I know of) is 110KB.
