Python with the scientific stack, compiled to WebAssembly.
What is Pyodide?
Pyodide brings the Python 3.8 runtime to the browser via WebAssembly, along with the Python scientific stack including NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, SciPy, and scikit-learn. The packages directory lists over 75 packages which are currently available. In addition it's possible to install pure Python wheels from PyPi.
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, 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.
