Python, client side: Skulpt

Doing the source-to-source translation on top of the javascript on the client side is quite neat.

I'd actually love to create a "GWT like" that would compile my python (in javascript/html/css) for the different browsers out there. That would be awesome.

GWT is nice and all, but python >> Java...

As snprbob86 pointed out, that already exists: Pyjamas @ pyjs.org.

I used pyjamas a while back for a couple toy projects. It's quite nice and sounds like what you're looking for.

With Skulpt, I wanted to avoid the build step that Pyjamas has (the compiler's written in Python, not Javascript so you run it ahead of time) and at least when I used it, it sometimes felt like Javascript with Python syntax, rather than actually programming in Python. It's certainly closer to Python than Skulpt is today though!
