PuePy: Reactive frontend framework in Python Talk Python to Me Ep.469

Python is one of the most popular languages of the current era. It dominates data science, it an incredible choice for web development, and its many people's first language. But it's not super great on front-end programing, is it? Frameworks like React, Vue and other JavaScript frameworks rule the browser and few other languages even get a chance to play there. But with pyscript, which I've covered several times on this show, we have the possibility of Python on the front end. Yet it's not really a front end framework, just a runtime in the browser. That's why I'm excited to have Ken Kinder on the podcast to talk about his project PuePy, a reactive frontend framework in Python.

This channel is so encouraging and the guests always have such an interesting background and journey. I remember one guest being a paramedic talking about their Python programming skills and I’m thinking to myself wow! Not only can Python be a primary skill but it can be a sub skill with enthusiastic people from so many disciplines.

I’ve been using React JS for my front end web dev and i have to admit… after using Python JS just feels so clunky 😂. Maybe I’m being biased but I always felt like Python was so fluid and natural.

I still use flask for my backend but I’ve been looking for a tool that allows for a front end dynamic rendering similar to what React provides. No matter how much Frontend I do with JS I still keep my Python skills sharp using selenium and backend.

I always enjoy the library insight for Python packages here.
