Getting Started with PyScript
Create interactive web apps with Python in the browser.
PyScript is a revolutionary platform for Python in the browser. Thanks to custom tags and extensions, PyScript enables users to embed standard Python code into a web page that runs directly into the browser with no installation required.
In this course, we will explore the main features of the PyScript platform. We will learn how PyScript works, and how to use it to create a rich web app in the browser with Python. We will work on multiple exercises as an opportunity to dive into specific PyScript features and functionalities, and to immediately see in practice what we have learned.
This course has been created based on the November 2023 PyScript release (i.e., release 2023.11.1), which brought lots of innovations and new features compared to any previous releases. To work on the apps we will be using PyScript.com, a flexible, free, and easy to use coding environment.
What you'll learn—and how you can apply it
By the end of this course, you’ll understand:
- How to use PyScript for your interactive web apps
- How PyScript works
- How to develop and distribute your apps using PyScript.com
And you’ll be able to:
- Use PyScript to create interactive web apps that make the best use of modern web technologies
- Choose and customize PyScript's various features according to your use case
- Create Python apps requiring zero-installation that can be shared with anyone (without having them install anything on their computers as a web browser is all that is needed)
This training is for you because…
- You’re a Python developer and want to learn how you can use Python in the Browser.
- You work with web technologies, and you want to bring your Python skills to the next level by also using Python in the front-end.
- You want to become a PyScript power-user, learning how you can make better use of your Python experience.
Prerequisites
- Experience with programming in Python is required to work on the materials of this course. In particular, you should be familiar with Python basic data structures, and language constructs (e.g., for loops, conditionals, and functions).
- No previous experience with web development is required to work on this course, but having some experience with HTML and the web would be a plus.
