pyscript VS AIOHTTP

You are right for the most part. I attended a talk about pyscript[1] (runs python in the browser using wasm which is similar) and there is a 2x performance hit.

PyScript maintainer here - I'd love to hear more about this application! Either here, or over on our Discord (invite link is on the GitHub Page [1]).

For the first question - why your code previously created an HTML node but now just prints out the literal characters of the HTML - that was a change made in 2022.12.1, in Pull Request 915 to be specific. You can check out the single-line change that caused this, if you want. Essentially, calls to Element.write() or display() have their contents escaped by default, which wasn't the case before.

Note that in the current release (2023.03.1 at time of writing), py-[event] listeners are only hooked up once at page-load time, so changing that attribute after the page loads won't do anything. In the upcoming release, py-[event] handlers are dynamically attached and managed each time a py-[event] attribute on the page is changed. (PR 1435)

PyScript started as a usability layer around Pyodide for those not used to working in JS. It's now working on things like incorporating the Micropython runtime as an alternative, moving the interpreter to a worker thread, adding a plugins ecosystem, easier events API's, and more.

You can also check out the WebGL demo from the PyScript examples, which uses Thee.JS.

Mainly, the pys-onClick syntax that was present in earlier version in favor of the new py-* syntax, where * is a browser event name. It also takes a string of executable python instead of the name of a Callable. So in your case, you'd use py-click="get_input()". (There's a long-in-progress PR on GitHub with more examples.)

> AIOHTTP: The Python int constructor is used to parse Content-Lengths and chunk-sizes, so _, +, and - are misinterpreted.

Fun. I believe the fix is incomplete here[1]. Python's int() constructor accepts integers comprised of any unicode numeral, for example, int("٦٦٦") == 666, and "٦٦٦".isdecimal() == True.

aiohttp

If you want speed, I would try to rewrite everything using an asynchronous library like aiohttp.

requests does not support async out-of-the-box, so we will use aiohttp to avoid complications. requests can do the job, and there is no substantial performance difference. But the code is more readable using aiohttp.

I'm using aiohttp to build an API server that sends TCP requests off to a seperate server. The module that sends the TCP requests is synchronous and a black box for my purposes. So my problem is that these requests are blocking the entire API. I need a way to wrap the module requests in an asynchronous coroutine that won't block the rest of the API.

aiohttp - Everything that I need and nothing that I don't.

Use aiohttp to download the content of each page of lists. As of this Code Review post, this is the only step we execute.

Reminds me of this post from 5 months ago, but it was for a Python library. I made a discussion thread on the aiohttp repo and someone ended up contacting the reddit admins about it. The problem seems to be resolved now.
