Oh but in technical terms my thoughts are completely opposite. Python wouldn't be my first choice for games in general, and much less for web games.
Really the only way to justify using Python in this domain is if you're more comfortable with Python than other languages, and what you are building is a small, lightweight game. But this is reason enough to validate the idea! So if you want to build a game with Python, go for it.
But if you're minimally comfortable with Typescript it would be a seriously better fit for this domain. Something like https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs will work much better than Pygame or anything. It's geared towards simple 2D games too.
One reason for that is dependencies. By using Python with Pyscript you will be constrained with what libraries you can use, because not all of them is compatible with Pyscript.
(I myself am more comfortable with Rust, and Rust libraries like https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad can target browsers, desktop and mobile; and it's also meant for simple 2D games. And I prefer the Rust ecosystem of libraries, too)
