CPython's main branch running in the browser with WebAssembly
Very cool, I did some experiments with libxml on a WASI environment a few years ago (https://github.com/matiasinsaurralde/wasm-libxml2).

How I got Ruby snippets to run browser side in less than a day
Runno installs its packages using WAPM, it's based off a fork of WebAssembly.sh and so adding support for a new language already on WAPM is quite simple. If you're interested here's the PR. The important change is:

CPython's main branch running in the browser with WebAssembly
In WebAssembly.sh (https://github.com/wasmerio/webassembly.sh) they run WASM binaries in a Web Worker and then use `SharedArrayBuffer` to block the WebWorker while the main thread does some work (e.g. collect input). You could use a similar solution.
When building Runno (https://runno.dev) I forked off that project and did a bunch of other things on top to get blocking to work in Safari and non-cross-origin-isolated contexts.
Ultimately I think it's JavaScript's (or whichever host language) responsibility to block when the binary calls out (if that is the expected semantics).
What are some alternatives?
