🎙 Main talk: ‘Pyodide: A Python distribution for the browser’ by Roman Yurchak
Pyodide is a Python distribution for the browser and Node.js based on WebAssembly. It includes a port of CPython 3.11 to WebAssembly/Emscripten, and makes it possible to install and run Python packages in the browser. Pyodide comes with a robust Javascript ⟺ Python foreign function interface so that you can mix these two languages in your code with minimal friction.
We will walk through simple examples of how to run Python applications in the browser with Pyodide. We will also discuss the process of porting existing Python packages, including what makes a package suitable to port and what challenges are likely to arise.
