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

## History
Pyodide was created in 2018 by [Michael Droettboom](https://github.com/mdboom)
at Mozilla as part of the [iodide project](https://github.com/iodide-project/iodide), a set of experiments around
scientific computing and communication for the web.
At present Pyodide is an independent and community driven open-source project.
The decision making process is outlined in the {ref}`project governance <project-governance>`.
Pyodide may be used standalone in any context where you want to run Python
inside a web browser.
## Infrastructure support
We would also like to thank,
- [Mozilla](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/) and
[CircleCl](https://circleci.com/) for Continuous Integration resources
- [JsDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/) for providing a CDN for pyodide packages
- [ReadTheDocs](https://readthedocs.org/) for hosting the documentation.
