Python to JavaScript converter [closed]

Question

I want to convert some basic snippets to JavaScript, just pure Python I wrote myself to pure JavaScript. Is there any thing out there? Here the code.

items = init['items']

itemsKeyedById = {i["id"]: i for i in items} # hard to convert.

for item in items:
    if item["parents"][0]['isRoot'] == False:
        parent = itemsKeyedById[item["parents"][0]['id']]

        if "children" not in parent:
            parent["children"] = []
        parent["children"].append(item)

topLevelItems = [item for item in items if item["parents"][0]['isRoot'] == True] # hard to convert.
try:
    return json.dumps(topLevelItems[0]);  
except:
    return '[]'

@Davide: Sadly this question has been closed, otherwise I'd write an answer instead of a comment. The best way to do have python as client side these days is with https://github.com/qquick/Transcrypt

Answer 1

You can actually run a Python interpreter directly in JS thanks to emscripten.

The project is called empythoned:

Empythoned is a build script that uses Emscripten to compile CPython for use in a browser. It attempts to compile the main interpreter as a single small executable and the whole standard library as dynamically loaded libraries.

but be warned:

The project is in its infancy. Right now the core interpreter works very well, but many of the libraries either don't work at all or contain various bugs.

Answer 2

You might want to look into RapydScript. It is actively maintained (as of Oct 2014) and comes with a couple of cute examples which actually work.

Answer 3

You should try this:

http://gatc.ca/projects/pyjsdl/

It works fine with regular python and even supports pygame.
