Research direction

The issue names Transcrypt-generated JavaScript files, local HTML opened directly in a browser, and pywebview, but no source files, entry points, or tests. Start by locating how Transcrypt emits JavaScript modules and determine whether a non-modular output mode can support local pywebview use without manually removing export statements.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello,

if I am correct you cannot use Transcrypt generated JS files embedded in a local html file by directly opening this file in a local browser as javascript modules are only allowed to be embedded through http/https?

I would like to use Transcrypt locally in combination with pywebview to create user interfaces to python programs just with HTML and javascript. Pywebview opens a browsing window and allows communication with a python script to the java script in this browsing window.

As I like this approach and I see no need to start a server on the local machine with pywebview, is it possible to tell transcrypt just to put out non modularized java script code? Would that be a new feature? Or would I have to replace all the "export"-statements in the Javascript file manually and would it still work then?

Kind regards
Bastian
