Show HN: An Open-Source Platform for Raspberry Pi with Robust OTA Updates

https://oss.silitics.com/rugpi/

Over the last few weeks, I worked on a set of tools which enables (1) a modern workflow to build customized images for Raspberry Pi, (2) robust over-the-air updates with rollback support of the entire system, including firmware files, and (3) managed state which is preserved across reboots and updates. The goal is to have a reliable platform for creating Raspberry Pi-based products. The initial...

Then yes, you can do "pip install".

There is also a module that allows you to use native JS libraries like JQuery.

Cool, I will have a look through your code and BrowserFS seems especially useful to me.
