Pyjamas is a port of Google Web Toolkit to Python [1]. It contains a stand-alone Python-to-Javascript compiler, an AJAX Framework and Widget set.
Development
Using Pyjamas, developers can easily write rich media web applications in Python, instead of Javascript. The application is compiled to Javascript. Also included is an AJAX library and widget set that provides access to the DOM model of modern javascript-capable web browsers. The AJAX library and the widget set library are a hybrid mix of Python and Javascript. Just as with GWT, "Pyjamas is not its libraries", and neither is it "yet another AJAX framework".
Pyjamas Desktop
The widget set library that comes with Pyjamas is so similar to PyQt and PyGTK that a port of Pyjamas was made to run Pyjamas applications on the desktop, called Pyjamas-Desktop. The project uses Webkit as the underlying technology, and it is through Webkit that Pyjamas manipulates the DOM model of the application. Pyjamas and Pyjamas Desktop allow writing cross-platform, cross-desktop, cross-browser and cross-widget applications that run on the web and on the desktop[2].
