I've actually used Waldemar's media generator in a project (like, 5
years ago), and found it a bit difficult to set up, but once it was
running it was incredible. All the headaches of generating, compacting,
amalgamating, hashing blah blah blah javascript were just gone.

Hey Joe,
since you're using Django you could try django-mediagenerator (an
asset manager) to compile your Python source to JS - standalone
without the GWT-like Pyjamas libraries. See here for an intro:

I don't maintain that project, anymore, but it could still be
useful for what you want to do. As described in the post above,
there's a pyjs filter in mediagenerator which automatically tracks
your client-side Python files for changes and automatically
recompiles them when necessary. You might have to update the pyjs
filter to work with the latest pyjs version, but that should be
relatively easy. The performance of pyjs is not bad and you can
set compilation flags such that you have the best compromise
between performance and Python support.
Cheers,
Waldemar
