Can you elaborate on this?

From the Skulpt website: "Skulpt is an entirely in-browser implementation of Python."

It sounds like you implemented python in JS, so there is no compilation to JS. The application code is always python and is evaluated on the client, no?

If you move it to the back end, would that not be something like Trascrypt?

Check out my talk on the Skulpt compiler from PyCon US this summer: https://anvil.works/blog/pycon-talk

Skulpt has a separate compiler stage that compiles Python to JS, and a runtime library. There's no need to eval() that code in the same JS VM that compiled it, so it's totally feasible to ship the JS to the client and run it there.
