Hi Carl -- That is surprising. I don't know much about pyjs or GWT for that matter, but from what I had read the underlying Python language was so close in philosophy to Javascript that its "adapter" code was an order of magnitude smaller than for Java, which has rather large issues of compatibility with Javascript. One of the core advantages of pyjs was that it was way smaller than GWT for a given app -- or so the advertisement went! Looks like I'll have to ask for my money back!
