CoffeeScript-like language written in Python

Question

Are there any languages targeting JavaScript (like CoffeeScript) and written in Python? I found Pyjamas, but it’s GWT of Python as I see. I want a language that doesn’t need heavy runtime library and is able to be compiled to JavaScript. I found Mascara also, and it very satisfies my requirements except it’s license. CoffeeScript is ideal for me except it’s written in CoffeeScript itself. I have to compile [CoffeeScript-like language] source codes into JavaScript statically in Python application.

"CoffeeScript-like" as in "it's just JavaScript"? Because that's the primary purpose of CoffeeScript: Do what JS does, just in a nicer way. Please elaborate on what defined this "non-JavaScript-language". If the sole problem with CoffeeScript is that it's not written in CoffeeScript, you can run from Python via V8. — user395760

@Lion They are not "strictly prohibited" throughout the site, that is ludicrous. However, the majority of the community seems to discourage them. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5029/… and meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2950/… — Derek Litz

You might want to have a look at pyjaco (python to javascript compiler).

Here's an example to get you started with manipulating the DOM in Python using jQuery: https://github.com/chrivers/pyjaco/tree/devel/examples/jquery

One part of Pyjamas is pyjs, which is decribed this way in the project overview:

pyjs translates Python code to Javascript by walking the Python abstract syntax tree and generating Javascript.

Sounds like it should fit the bill: no need to use the other parts of pyjamas you don't need.
