Pyodide

Build Status

This provides an integration layer when running an empscripten-compiled CPython inside a web browser. It provides transparent conversion of objects between Javascript and Python and a sharing of global namespaces. When inside a browser, this means Python has full access to the Web APIs.

Building

These instructions were tested on Linux. OSX should be substantively the same.

Make sure the prerequisites for emsdk are installed.

Install lessc to compile less to css.

Type make.

(The build downloads and builds a local, patched version of emsdk, then downloads and builds Python and Numpy, and finally builds the pyodide-specific code.)

Testing

  1. Install the following dependencies into the default Python installation:

    pip install pytest selenium

  2. Install geckodriver somewhere on your PATH.

  3. make test

Benchmarking

  1. Install the same dependencies as for testing.

  2. make benchmark
