Run Python in Your Browser with PyScript

Ever wished you could just open your browser, type some Python, and see it run instantly — without setting up servers, IDEs, or Anaconda monsters?

Well, meet PyScript 🐍✨.
It’s a framework that lets you drop Python code right inside an HTML file like this:

<py-script>
  print("Hello from the browser! 🚀")
</py-script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

That’s it. Open it in Chrome/Firefox, and boom — Python runs client-side, thanks to WebAssembly + Pyodide. No Flask, no Django, no “install 400 packages” drama.

Why it’s cool:

✅ Perfect for quick demos & teaching

✅ Works with many Python libraries (NumPy, Pandas, etc.)

✅ No server setup required

But…

🐌 Slower than native Python

📦 Not every package works

🌍 Only modern browsers support

Still, it’s a total game-changer for devs, educators, and anyone who wants Python running in-browser.

Check it out, clap 👏 if you enjoy it, and let’s make Python fun again.
