PyScript as Infrastructure: Running EduBlocks at Scale Without the Cost

PyScript is an open source platform for Python in the browser.

EduBlocks is a block-based tool for teachers, students and anyone taking their first steps in coding. The educational "blocks" we use, actually create Python.

But where do you evaluate the user's code? We used to use a hosted service where Python was evaluated in the cloud. Now, thanks to PyScript, everything runs in the user's browser.

In this talk, we'll explain how it works and show you how to run Python in your own browser-based applications.

It turns out PyScript is really great for Python as an edge-computing environment in the browser.
