A comment on Brython, Python in the browser.

I find it a bit the overkill. If you'd like to implement Python in the browser, at least make sure to write a good implementation. An implementation written in JavaScript, is not a good implementation.

Do you have some evidence for this, or are you just judging it by the fact it is written in JavaScript? I can imagine source-to-source translation between Python to JS that would provide an excellent implementation of Python.
