    This wouldn't work, you should just use python-wasm to run the cpython interpreter on the browser.

    Thanks for the detailed explanation, makes complete sense.

    I suppose that means that for projects such as python-wasm [0] that are porting other language runtimes to WASM they will have to go the Asyncify route with all the overhead that entails?

    From the looks of it they don't think asyncifying Python will be possible in the near to medium term [1].
