Pyjs is a Python port of Google Web Toolkit that compiles Python code to JavaScript for building Rich Media AJAX applications in the browser, paired with a desktop widget API similar to PyQT or PyGTK. It also runs the same Python application natively on the desktop via multiple web-engine backends.

Use cases

• write web apps in python instead of javascript
• compile python code to javascript
• build rich ajax applications in python
• run the same python gui app in browser and on desktop
• port gwt-style development to python

When to choose

• you want to develop browser applications in Python with a desktop-style widget API
• you need one codebase that runs both in the browser and as a native desktop app
• you prefer a GWT-like compile-to-JS workflow

When to avoid

• you need a modern, actively developed framework with current browser standards support
• your project targets Python 3 exclusively, since Pyjs is largely Python 2 era
• you want a lightweight SPA toolchain rather than a full compiler and widget set
