Python with the scientific stack, compiled to WebAssembly.
Pyodide is a Python distribution for the browser and Node.js based on WebAssembly.
## What is Pyodide?
Pyodide may be used in any context where you want to run Python inside a web
browser.
Pyodide is a port of CPython to WebAssembly/[Emscripten](https://emscripten.org/).
Pyodide brings the Python 3.9 runtime to the browser via WebAssembly thanks to
[Emscripten](https://emscripten.org/).
It builds the Python scientific stack including NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, SciPy, and
scikit-learn. The [packages directory](packages) lists over 75 packages which
are currently available. In addition, it's possible to install pure Python wheels
from PyPI.
Pyodide makes it possible to install and run Python packages in the browser with
[micropip](https://pyodide.org/en/stable/usage/api/micropip-api.html). Any pure
Python package with a wheel available on PyPi is supported. Many packages with C
extensions have also been ported for use with Pyodide. These include many
general-purpose packages such as regex, pyyaml, lxml and scientific Python
packages including numpy, pandas, scipy, matplotlib, and scikit-learn.
Pyodide provides transparent conversion of objects between JavaScript and
Python. When used inside a browser, Python has full access to the Web APIs.
Pyodide comes with a robust Javascript ⟺ Python foreign function interface so
that you can freely mix these two languages in your code with minimal
friction. This includes full support for error handling (throw an error in one
language, catch it in the other), async/await, and much more.
When used inside a browser, Python has full access to the Web APIs.
## Try Pyodide (no installation needed)
