I would like to create a google chrome extension. Specifically, I’d like to make a packaged app, but not a hosted app. Am I correct in thinking this limits me to JavaScript (and HTML/CSS)?
My problem is that I need to do some complex math (singular value decomposition, factor analysis) and I don’t want to write algorithms for this in javascript. Python already has libraries for the functions I need (SciPy), but I can’t find any indication that I can make a Chrome extension using python.
Is this correct? Do I have any other options?
There is no Python built into Chrome but I am wondering whether pyjs can help you.
