Something of this sort was done a long time ago with pypy[1] and more recently CPython[2]

- opencl 7y agoThis one appears to be a repackaging of Mozilla's CPython/numpy wasm build (your [2] link).
- syrusakbary 7y agoWe’ve been in contact with people from Mozilla regarding Pyodide, so our intention is not really repackaging but being able to use Python server side via WebAssembly (eventually we want to get rid of our package and use Pyodide directly). We don’t want to steal other people attention but to bring more people into the WebAssembly ecosystem, and you can only do that by helping bringing more packages to it. If you are aware of other ways of running Python server side with WebAssembly I’d love to know more!
