the pyjamas project is taking a slightly different approach to achieve

anyway, just thought there might be people who would be intrigued (or
horrified enough to care what's being done in the name of computer
science) by either of these projects.
I've added pyjamas to the implementations page on the Python Wiki in
the compilers section:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/implementation
In what way is pyjamas a python implementation? As far as I know
pyjamas is an application written in python that is capable of
generating javascript code. Does this make it a 'python
implementation'? That would be news to me but I've been wrong many
times before.
It converts Python code to Javascript.
The question is whether it converts Python code to JavaScript code with
the same behavior. I think you're implying that it does, but you left
it implicit, and I think the point is central to deciding if pyjamas is
a Python implementation or not, so I thought I'd try to make it explicit.
Does pyjamas convert any Python program into a JavaScript program with
the same behavior?
Barring the unimplemented libraries and bugs, yes. If you read the original post
in this thread, you will see that on the roadmap is running the entire Python
regression suite.
