It's a pity it didn't get more traction. The effort invested seems a bit more worthwhile.

What makes it more worthwhile?
And given "Empythoned is a build script that uses Emscripten to compile CPython for use in a browser", isn't compiling Python to C to Javascript going to end up a bit clunky compared to just writing Javascript?
Don't fret. WebAssembly is going to open the floodgates to Python in the browser.
