Description:
This JavaScript snippet demonstrates how to execute Python code within a browser using Skulpt, a JavaScript implementation of Python. Here's a breakdown of what the code does:
- Skulpt Configuration:
Sk.configure
sets up Skulpt with custom functions for output and file reading.output
Function: Captures and logs output from the Python code to the browser's console.read
Function: Simulates file reading for Skulpt. If<stdin>
is requested, it returns predefined Python code. Otherwise, it throws an error indicating the file wasn't found.- Defining Python Code:
- The
pythonCode
variable contains the Python code to be executed. In this example, it prints two messages:
print("Hello, Skulpt!")
print("This is Python code running in JavaScript.")
- Executing the Python Code:
Sk.misceval.asyncToPromise
runs the Python code asynchronously.- It calls
Sk.importMainWithBody
to execute the code as the main module. - Success Callback: If execution is successful, it logs a success message to the console.
- Error Callback: If an error occurs during execution, it catches the error and logs an error message.
- Purpose of the Code:
- This setup allows developers to run Python scripts directly in the browser without needing a server-side interpreter.
- It's useful for educational tools, interactive tutorials, or any application that benefits from executing Python code on the client side.
