  1. pyodide

    Pyodide is a Python distribution for the browser and Node.js based on WebAssembly

    We implemented an in-browser Python editor/interpreter built on Pyodide over at Comet (our users are data scientists who need to build custom visualizations quite often, and the most familiar language for most of them is Python).

    One of the issues you'll run into is that Pyodide only works by default with packages that have pure Python wheels available. The team has developed support for some libraries with C dependencies (like scikit-learn, I believe), but frameworks like PyTorch are particularly thorny (see this issue: https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide/issues/1625 )

    We ended up rolling out a new version of our Python visualizations that runs off-browser, in order to support enough libraries/get the performance we need: https://www.comet.com/docs/v2/guides/comet-ui/experiment-man...

  4. py2wasm

    Nuitka is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.

    So I had a look at the repo/branches at https://github.com/wasmerio/py2wasm. This might be a nit, but in the spirit of OSS: if I'd done this work, I'd have contributed it to upstream Nuitka, I would not have forked a whole new GitHub repo and given it a completely different name.

    What's the rationale for creating a new project and calling it py2wasm? Am I missing something?

  5. Nuitka

    Nuitka is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4-3.13. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.

    Thanks for the feedback! I'm Syrus, main author of the work on py2wasm.

    We already opened a PR into Nuitka to bring the relevant changes upstream: https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/pull/2814

    We envision py2wasm being a thin layer on top of Nuitka, as also commented in the article.

    From what we gathered, we believe that there's usefulness on having py2wasm as a separate package, as py2wasm would also need to ship the precompiled Python distribution (3.11) for WASI (which will not be needed for the other Nuitka use cases), apart of also shipping other tools that are not directly relevant for Nuitka
