Episode notes

Discussion on running Python in the browser, exploring Pyodide and MicroPython options. The chapter covers the advantages and limitations of each, highlighting the flexibility of PyScript in supporting both choices. They also touch on using Pyodide for building example apps and the considerations for different types of web applications.

Python is one of the most popular languages of the current era. It dominates data science, it an incredible choice for web development, and its many people's first language. But it's not super great on front-end programing, is it? Frameworks like React, Vue and other JavaScript frameworks rule the browser and few other languages even get a chance to play there. But with pyscript, which I've covered several times on this show, we have the possibility of Python on the front end. Yet it's not really a front end framework, just a runtime in the browser. That's why I'm excited to have Ken Kinder on the podcast to talk about his project PuePy, a reactive frontend framework in Python.
