Using Pyscript

Turns out you can run Python in the browser thanks to WASM and, specifically, PyScript. Let's try it out and integrate it with Hugo! So... this is the current date and time, computed by Python running in your browser! matplotlib numpy duckdb from datetime import datetime now = datetime.now() print(now.strftime('%m/%d/%Y, %H:%M:%S')) Not only that! You can also use Python to generate plots, like this one: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from datetime import datetime now = datetime.now() fig, ax = plt.subplots() x = ['Last Year', 'This Year', 'Next Year', 'Future'] y = [10, 5, 9, 7] plt.plot(x, y) plt.xlabel('Date') plt.ylabel('Score') plt.title(f'Plot rendered at {now}') fig Which comes from running this code: Using PyScript with Hugo To use PyScript with Hugo, you need to add the following to your config.toml: And then you can use PyScript like I'm doing in this post. Jupyter REPL You can also have an entire Jupyter REPL running in your browser, with the ability to run arbitrary Python code! Go ahead and try this out (Shift+Enter to run):
