Revolutionalise Data Visulization with PyScript
2022-09-01 , HS 118

Since the announcement of PyScript, it has gained lots of attention and imagination about how we can run applications of Python in the browser. Out of everything that I have come across, most of the use cases are data visualisation. Let's see how we can up our data viz game with PyScript.


At the beginning of this talk, we will go over what PyScript is and how to use it: no need to install it, just put a CDN URL in an HTML file. This part will cover some basic knowledge about it, why is it unique and why it can revolutionize data visualisation, for those who have not heard much about PyScript.

After that, we will go over 3 examples: one interactive data plot, one interactive map visualization and one integration with D3. Besides showing the result, we will also have a deeper look at the code, the key to making similar visualization so you can learn a few tricks to make your own PyScript data visualization as well.

This talk is for anyone who needs a simple and no fuzz way to present data findings and visualization. As PyScript runs only on the browser, it will be an optimal way to share data findings through visualization.

Abstract as a tweet

Out of every PyScript demo that I have come across, most of the use cases are data visualisation. Let’s see how we can up our data viz game with @pyscript_dev.
