There used to be something for Internet Explorer 4 and above. All you had to do was to set the language attribute of the <script> tag to Python. See "Python Programming On Win32: Help for Windows Programmers", page 437 [1].

For Python, https://sh.readthedocs.io/ is very nice, but unfortunately no Windows support.

It's neat how that link lets you run Python interactively in the browser, with https://repl.it/site/languages/python3 . Normally that is just a JavaScript thing.

There's also pyjs if you want to skip the writing of javascript and just write python. It works like gwt, but in python. http://pyjs.org/

You can already do 'Python in a browser' for a long time. With the Python to JS converter: http://pyjs.org/

Python has https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/ast.html

C# has https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-g... (only partially what you want I think)

The Python Language Reference is pretty good if you're already experienced: https://docs.python.org/3.6/reference/index.html

Python has the same thing. I like them.

Cheers, that looks really interesting. I usually use pythonxy[0] nowadays on operating systems without package managers, but I'll give that a go next time.

There is a way: http://mypy-lang.org/

I've used Python a fair bit for a variety of semi-permanent or long scripts. I would have liked types more as well. Discovered MyPy after those instances.

You can use VS for python too: https://pytools.codeplex.com/

BTW, Python can do that [1], it's just not very recommended because the ast is not stable between versions (and maybe even implementations? not sure about that)
