Welcome to PScript’s documentation!

PScript is a Python to JavaScript compiler, and is also the name of the subset of Python that this compiler supports. It was developed as a part of Flexx (as flexx.pyscript) and is now represented by its own project. Although it is still an important part of Flexx, it can also be useful by itself.
