Maybe you should start by having a look at PyPyJS and then exploring WebAssembly:

All of the current implementations that allow you to do that either transpile Python to JavaScript ahead of time, or do some kind of on-the-fly conversion from Python to JavaScript.  I'd like to write an actual Python engine that will run in the browser.  As I've been mulling over this idea, I read about Pypy.  Given my limited knowledge of this domain (programming language engines that run in the browser) and the exact nature of the problem, Pypy seems like the best route to achieving this.  I'm still very much in the early stages of fleshing this idea out, and besides the typical undergraduate Programming Language class, I haven't done much in the way of programming language design or anything compiler related.  So I have A LOT to learn.  But I was hoping some of you who are Pypy experts could give me a bit of advice on the feasibility of what I'm considering.
