Did you evaluate PyPy? I think they already have a significant RPython->Javascript backend.

Link? I don't see it at http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/docindex.html#pypy-d... (a js interpreter, but no translator).

If I were to guess, not having seen PyPy's: I'd like something about 100x smaller than PyPy seems to be, and I don't want a mandatory up-front translation "build" step.

Apparently they removed it:

That post also mentions Pyjamas, a port of Google Web Toolkit which compiles Python instead of Java: http://pyjs.org/

Well this is very annoying as I had started to use PyPy's Javascript backend in metapaw-dip:

I really, really want to do Python client-side (or rather compile Python to Javascript). Javascript is just so painful for me. Being able to test Python code as Python would be the major reason.
