pyxl

> Name's a bit confusing when XLWings exists How? XLWings is not a similar name to pyxl. However, even so, the name is... Heavily overloaded: https://pyxl.com/ (some kind of strategy/CRM/AI thing) https://pyxl.ai/ (AI website builder) https://www.pyxl.pro/ (AI image generator) https://github.com/dropbox/pyxl (Inline HTML extension for Python) https://openpyxl.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ (A Python library to read/write Excel files) https://www.pyxll.com/ (Excel Add-in to support add-ins written in Python)

best use case I've found so far is pyxl, inspired by jsx https://github.com/dropbox/pyxl. You can write code like # coding: pyxl print <html><body>Hello World!</body></html>

behold, the .jsx but for python https://github.com/dropbox/pyxl https://github.com/pyxl4/pyxl4

is there any compile-to-javascript languages which would be termed as "disgusting" and "impure"? https://github.com/dropbox/pyxl for python comes to mind as something more enjoyable than manually doing tree-shaped OOP login = : //"read variable from indented block" symbol of magicness <form> <input type=email> <input type=pass> <button>{_("Sign in")}<button> //gotta have an excuse to inline code! </form> login.events({ onsubmit (whatever, i dunno) { blap } }); seems a lot more fun!

> If there were a macro framework that used `coding` Does JSX-like template for Python count? https://github.com/dropbox/pyxl # coding: pyxl print <html><body>Hello {my_var}!</body></html> Combined with this, we can make Meteorjs-like applications in Python directly. Even AST transformation of backend DOM operations in Python directly rendered to Javascript to browser.

Also, if this thing is truly mangling bytecode, it's not portable between different python versions [...] seems to be done by interpy_untokenize, which boils down to some string mangling It uses the Python file encoding property ("# coding: foobar") to rewrite the source code, not the bytecode, and they refer to pyxl as an inspiration. For a good explanation, see https://github.com/dropbox/pyxl

Another gem is pyxl from Dropbox https://github.com/dropbox/pyxl Reminds me of JSX/E4X/XML Islands, etc.

its probably easier to add custom syntax to python by using custom encodings. The dropbox pyxl library does this. Details: https://github.com/dropbox/pyxl#implementation-details

Try Pyxl https://github.com/dropbox/pyxl I don't work at Dropbox but I did work at Cove where this was originally developed and it is great. Makes working with HTML in Python so easy. I also my own version of it that I have rewritten to treat the HTML object more like jQuery does and added more jQuery methods to it.
