# About the Project
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Python scientific stack, compiled to WebAssembly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pyodide brings the Python runtime to the browser via WebAssembly, along with
|
||
|
|
the Python scientific stack including NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, parts of
|
||
|
|
SciPy, and NetworkX. The [packages
|
||
|
|
directory](https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide/tree/master/packages)
|
||
|
|
lists over 35 packages which are currently available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pyodide provides transparent conversion of objects between Javascript and
|
||
|
|
Python. When used inside a browser, Python has full access to the Web APIs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While closely related to the [iodide project](https://iodide.io), a tool for
|
||
|
|
*literate scientific computing and communication for the web*, Pyodide goes
|
||
|
|
beyond running in a notebook environment. To maximize the flexibility of the
|
||
|
|
modern web, **Pyodide** may be used standalone in any context where you want to
|
||
|
|
**run Python inside a web browser**.
