In their own words
Skulpt
Skulpt is a free, web-based implementation of Python that executes code entirely in the browser. It requires no preprocessing, plugins, or server-side support. The online editor provides indentation, standard editing shortcuts, and keyboard commands to run all code or only a selection. Developers can embed Skulpt in a webpage or HTML project by loading `skulpt.js` or `skulpt-min.js` together with `skulpt-stdlib.js`, and they can create and host custom modules. The usage guide also describes embedding Trinket examples in an iframe, remixing them, and saving work to a free Trinket account. Skulpt is presented for learning and teaching Python, with a project gallery for educational examples. Its master branch uses Python 3.7.3 grammar, while Python 2 remains available for projects needing it. Documentation says language coverage is incomplete, with some features missing or partial. The runtime may use MIT or PSFLv2 licensing. CLI and API access are listed.
