Transcrypt
Explore how to use Transcrypt to seamlessly translate Python into JavaScript, enabling you to develop front-end web applications using familiar Python syntax while maintaining efficient browser performance. Understand Transcrypt's role as a bridge between Python and JavaScript and how it fits into modern web development workflows.
We'll cover the following...
What is Transcrypt?
The heart of the toolchain that allows the magic to happen is Transcrypt, a pip-installed Python-to-JavaScript transpiler. It takes the Python code that we write and converts that Python code into a JavaScript file. That file can then be loaded into a web browser, which allows the code to be run without any browser plug-in or large JavaScript runtime download required. Since the code is pre-compiled into JavaScript before it is downloaded to the browser, application performance is not compromised.
Transcrypt does include a small (~42kb) runtime module that gets served up to the web browser along with the transpiled code and any other ...
