I'm unfortunately not super familiar with PyJS, but I did do a presentation at PyCon this year that demonstrated some of its capabilities. <http://pyvideo.org/video/1681/so-easy-you-can-even-do-it-in-javascript-event-d> One extra column I'd like to see in your table is some kind of evaluation as to how "real" of a Python the "Python" in the browser is. Brython and Skulpt, for example, are both python-like languages, but very basic issues like <https://bitbucket.org/olemis/brython/issue/57/object-has-no-__getattr__-method> and <https://bitbucket.org/olemis/brython/issue/21/missing-methods-in-str-objects-eg-format> and <https://bitbucket.org/olemis/brython/issue/10/add-support-for-__abs__-__neg__> and <https://github.com/bnmnetp/skulpt/issues/14> and <https://github.com/bnmnetp/skulpt/issues/53> means that even very basic Python programs will not work, unless they are specifically written for these runtimes. PyJS is much better, although it has its own share of problems, like <https://github.com/pyjs/pyjs/issues/787>. You'll have to come up with some objective metric for identifying how linguistically faithful these implementations are. It would be fantastic if you could shoehorn the Python test suite itself into them somehow! But, that's likely to be a bit too much work, so some smaller set of tests would be a good start. -glyph -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pyjs.org Users" group.
