Well, pynetworktables2js is a python package, so if you install it on the robot (using the RobotPy installer) you can just do an 'import pynetworktables2js' and then set up the server as the example code shows, it'll just work.

I generally don't recommend people installing dashboard software on the RoboRIO because of potential bandwidth issues during competition, but it will work.

Note that this is called dashboard2. I had a previous one that never got past initial testing that did use pynetworktables2js. I don't remember what I didn't like about it then, but I did cast around awhile before settling on this. Maybe I broke it somehow, and decided I didn't trust it anymore (not that I don't trust you!)
Sure, I'm not offended. Just curious as to why you duplicated the work. I'm sure you learned a lot creating this though!
