Intro to PyScript: Run Python in the browser

JavaScript has long been the dominant language in frontend development due to its native browser compatibility and interaction capabilities with HTML and CSS. However, with the advent of WebAssembly, other languages like Python can now also run in the browser at near-native speeds. PyScript, an open-source web framework created by Anaconda, allows developers to build frontend applications using Python, leveraging the Python ecosystem's rich libraries such as NumPy and Matplotlib. PyScript operates by building on Pyodide, which ports CPython to WebAssembly, enabling Python code to execute directly in the browser without the need for a backend. It allows for embedding Python code within HTML or referencing external Python files, providing flexibility in application structure. PyScript also facilitates interaction with the DOM, event handling, and data fetching, while integrating with JavaScript for enhanced functionality. As PyScript is in its alpha stage, ongoing development is expected, with future changes likely to enhance its features and capabilities.
