Batavia is an early alpha project. If it breaks, you get to keep all the shiny pieces.
Batavia is an implementation of the Python virtual machine, written in Javascript. With Batavia, you can run Python bytecode in your browser.
It honors Python 3.4.4+ syntax and conventions, and let's you reference objects and classes defined natively in JavaScript.
Batavia requires a Python 3.4 installation, and a virtualenv to run it all in.
Check the Setting up your environment for configuration help.
Clone the code repositories:
$ mkdir pybee $ cd pybee $ git clone https://github.com/pybee/batavia- Setup a virtualenv (for other environments, see Getting Started).
Linux/Unix/Mac:
$ virtualenv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ cd batavia
$ pip install -e .Windows:
> virtualenv venv
> venv\Scripts\activate
> cd batavia
> pip install -e .Install Node.js. You must have a recent version of Node; we do our testing using v6.9.1. Once you've installed Node, you can use it to install the Javascript dependencies and compile the Batavia library:
$ npm install
For more detailed setup instructions, see the Getting Started tutorial
After you have setup the local installation of Batavia, you can now run Python in the browser:
$ cd testserver
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./manage.py runserverthen open a web browser at http://localhost:8000
For more detailed instructions, see the Python In The Browser guide.
