This is already two years old now. By now, I suggest moving away from running Python in a separate process and instead use the WebSerial API and run the code in a Wasm context. Ideally rewrite the PSLab Python library in a portable language such as Rust and let the Python library just call into it. Or look at Pyodide as an intermediate solution.

FYI I've begun moving functionaly from pslab-python / pslab-android into the firmware. The serial protocol willl be reimplemented from scratch in protobuf as part of this.

Once the new protocol is stable, I plan to write a common backend for desktop and android in rust.

This will create a lot of code churn. Any front end work should wait until the new API is ready.
