But I also wrote fabric based scripts for command line in a few projects where no backend was involved. Both gearbox and setup.py would be perfectly reasonable solutions to compile those. I'd say I have no strong opinion on how this should happen and I change it from project to project myself according to the needs of the project. The approach of going through tgext.webassets is very convenient because it happens automatically on app startup and nothing has to be done, but it should be easy to contribute a command to tgext.webassets to precompile those bundles.

While it's in theory possible to have dukpy download the requirements on install through setup_requires, I never did it in practice. Some time ago I wrote a short article to showcase how dukpy could be used to compile JSX which also creates a javascript bundle for the app: https://medium.com/@__amol__/es2015-and-react-in-pure-python-environment-b326dc15012c It might help giving a better understanding of the whole thing.
