Woah Extism is exactly what I need for a project where I want a plugin system, nice random find, thank you! Question: Does extism plan to support Python as a plugin language? That seems like a big gap right now Edit: I see this issue tracking it https://github.com/extism/extism/issues/116 https://github.com/extism/extism/issues/116 and the project is ongoing https://github.com/extism/python-pdk/issues/2 https://github.com/extism/python-pdk/issues/2

Yes, we would love to add a Python PDK - and as you discovered have one that is very close. Python is pretty tricky given most users want libraries with native/C dependencies. With those and the Python runtime, the wasm tends to bloat up to tens of MB, rather unideal for a plug-in. If you have time, please comment on that issue though and share some thoughts or use cases so we can better prioritize support!
