    It's an embedding of the wasm3 library, and it exposes a function, `wasm-test`, that can call a function without arguments from a simple WebAssembly module. I intend to update it to reach feature parity with, for example, the python embedding.

    PyOdide isn't currently supported outside of browsers, though that might change.

    Either way, I couldn't figure out how to do the above sequence of steps with any of the available Python WASM runtimes - they're all very under-documented at the moment, sadly. I tried all three of these:

    - https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-py

    You might look at https://github.com/wasm3/pywasm3 . If nothing else, it’d presumably speed up your interpreter to have bindings to an established C based runtime rather than re implementing the runtime in python

    Depends on what you mean by “using”. It is conceivably possible to compile a webassembly interpreter like wac[1] with cosmopolitan, which would then run on all OSes and bare metal, yes.
