I missed the "JS" the first read-thru and was hoping the title alluded to maybe Python somehow being used in the browser.

Oh well. I guess that's just hoping a bit too much.

This would apply to Pyjamas (Python that compiles to JS) too.

That said, Coffeescript is very similar to Python.

I actually think Coffeescript has one up on Python in some places. Splat assignment, for example, and a slightly simpler idiom for iterating through objects.
