✨ This is so cool.

😶‍🌫️ I dream of seeing Django run in the browser.

🤔 I also dream of the next generation of solutions that aren't bringing the entire Python library via Pyodide to the browser.

🤷 Why the nitpick? I want this tech to work on mobile browsers on phones that can't or don't need to bring the entire Python language and standard libraries. https://fosstodon.org/@sethmlarson/111845671845990883

@paulox @patrick Yes, it's quite well done. I think these demos are super cool.

I dream of the day we can take a Python library like Django and get as close to pure WASM out of it vs. needing to emulate Python to then run Django.

Losing this overhead and download size would be a huge win. https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide/releases/tag/0.25.0

@webology @patrick I agree with you. I think #pyscript is trying to solve the same problems of overheard and download size.

@webology @paulox my dream is that browsers will have a way to cache wasm interpreters (so you'd download python 3.12.x just once globally), but I think it will take time to get there

for the cost of pyodide, I think my next try will be with pure cpython (there's a wasm version), but it will still be relatively heavy. There's also micropython that can go on wasm (pyright has a version with it), but it does miss features (so django might not even run)

@patrick @paulox That would be cool. I'm not sure if a Python browser extension could help with that, but I'm throwing it out there.

Ideally, if we can compile Python code and skip the interpreters, we wouldn't need to ship the whole python runtime and stdlib.
