Shameless fork/reimplementation
I find remi pretty cool, and definitely more modern/scalable approach than e.g. http://www.gtk-server.org/ . At 100K and no dependencies beyond standard library it's also very attentively and cool written. Unfortunately, not cool enough for https://github.com/micropython/micropython , where 100K of code is unbelievably huge and unlikely fit embedded platforms supported. Even if targeting only unix port, few features currently used by remi are currently missing in micropython/micropython-lib. So, while having contemplated adding missing features on uPy side, things like threading make it too big, complex, and not portable. So, instead I started with an empty file, trying to reimplement features one by one, starting with "look" part (no events/updates so far). The most boring part (for a programmer) with web UI is styling, and so I'm going inherit one from remi. That's why I consider it a fork, even though code is intended to be written from scratch.
So, this is request for feedback (even if it's "Don't do this!" or "You're bastard!"), but mostly self-confession: any time I see similar projects, I want to know why there're some, instead of them working together. The above is my "why".
Uhm, maybe it's me that I'm having problems finding the link, but where is your fork?
In a ~/tmp. Again, this an early request for feedback/declaration of intent, maybe I'll receive so compelling arguments that I'll bury it in awe ;-).
Oh, in that case, which parts of remi are unsupported by the stdlib?
Some widgets can definately be removed if needed (i.e. IMO the svg widgets should be a submodule), and also you should not include the editor in your LOC estimate.
Ok, I developed my hack further so it shows complete Python -> HTML -> WebSocket -> Python -> WebSocket -> HTML interaction, pushed https://github.com/pfalcon/uremi (suggestion on name are also welcome, API isn't going to be compatible with remi).
I tested provided simple_app.py to work in 16K of heap memory with MicroPython.
(The repo above will be rebased, and probably further development will be way off.)
