Pyjs is a compiler plus a set of base widgets to build upon. It's so easy to create widgets with Pyjs that it seems it would take more time to learn someones complex API for richer widgets and try to customize it to do what you want then to just create one yourself.

Here are some examples of sophisticated Widgets i built by prototyping with HTML/CSS first and then adding behavior with Pyjs: https://github.com/damoti/damoti-client --
