Looks like the interface/windowing is built on Qt/PyQt. QT does have a WebAssembly build, but I don't think it's all that simple of a transition.

There's a dependency resolution error when trying to `npm install`. I opened an issue on GH - would love to test-drive this.

Work keeping an eye on Chris Laffra's work in this area - he did a Python in Excel demo [1] a few months back, and while sheets aren't in his ltk framework [2] yet, the work he's done on reactivity-in-python-on-the-web there is really promising.

This a a great example of good work getting 'upstreamed.' The go-to solution for using requests and urllib3 in the browser had been Koen Vossen's 'pyodide-http' package, which you'd install in PyScript/Pyodide and then call 'pyodide_http.patch_all()`. It monkey-patched requests and urllib3 to use the browser API's. [1]

Then 'pyodide-http' got adopted into the Pyodide-included packages[2], so you didn't have to specify it for install, just import it and run patch_all().

And now a similar technique has been incorporated directly into urllib3. (Not a direct port - as far as I know Joe Marshall and others did a full reimplementation so that urllib3's API's would be maintained as much as possible). [2]

Very cool.

Edit: Looks like there's a note to this same effect on Seth Larson's post about urllib3's future. [3]

PyScript maintainer here - I'd love to hear more about this application! Either here, or over on our Discord (invite link is on the GitHub Page [1]).
