Transcrypt is a Python 3.9 to JavaScript compiler that precompiles Python source into lean, readable, fast JavaScript for use in the browser or on Node.js. It supports core Python features like multiple inheritance, operator overloading, metaclasses, and async/await, and integrates sourcemaps, static type checking, and minification.

Use cases

• write browser applications in Python instead of JavaScript
• compile Python code to JavaScript
• use Python with React and other JS libraries on the frontend
• build fast-loading web apps with Python syntax
• run Python code on Node.js
• debug JavaScript from Python source via sourcemaps

When to choose

• you want Python syntax for frontend web development with fast, small output
• you need seamless interop with existing JavaScript libraries
• you want precompiled (not runtime-interpreted) Python-to-JS for production web apps

When to avoid

• you need eval/exec of Python code in the browser
• you rely on desktop-oriented Python libraries like NumPy in the browser
• you need the latest Python version features beyond 3.9
