Is there a JavaScript-based Python?

Question

I have a lot of JavaScript I need to write. I can do that, but I have some Python already which does something similar. I'd much prefer to adapt that and have it run within the browser.

There's the C-based reference implementation, and there's Jython in Java. Is there a JavaScript implementation along the same lines?

I have looked, but it may be that my google-fu has failed me. And it seems like something that ought to exist. Have I missed it?

This question doesn't deserve to be closed IMHO. The OP isn't looking for recommendations or opinions on libraries, but is more asking if browsers can run Python - which is a pretty specific question — Drenai
