I'm aware of Brython; its purpose is not to let you use JS semantics
with Py syntax, but to let you run Python code in a web browser, with
full Python semantics. You'll also find PyPyJS, which does a similar
job - it uses JS code as a form of machine code, JIT compiling to JS.

Taking this off the list as it's no longer on topic.
