This is cool.

Last year I spent a week transliterating someone's Python to JavaScript. It never occurred to me to Ask HN if that already existed. Is there a good one?

There is Brython[1], and it's pretty good—we use it to check Python code submissions on a educational site and so far it worked flawlessly for that kind of stuff.

That is cool! It would not have worked for us though because we developed an electronJS packaged app and there is no python installed on the host system.
