Pyodide is a Python distribution for the browser and Node.js based on WebAssembly.
What is Pyodide?
Pyodide is a port of CPython to WebAssembly/Emscripten.
Pyodide makes it possible to install and run Python packages in the browser with micropip. 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 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, async/await, and much more.
When used inside a browser, Python has full access to the Web APIs.
Try Pyodide (no installation needed)
Try Pyodide in a REPL directly in your browser. For further information, see the documentation.
Getting Started
Pyodide offers three different ways to get started depending on your needs and technical resources. These include:
- Use a hosted distribution of Pyodide: see the Getting Started documentation.
- Download a version of Pyodide from the releases page and serve it with a web server.
- Build Pyodide from source
- Build natively with
make: primarily for Linux users who want to experiment or contribute back to the project. - Use a Docker image: recommended for Windows and macOS users and for Linux users who prefer a Debian-based Docker image with the dependencies already installed.
- Build natively with
History
Pyodide was created in 2018 by Michael Droettboom at Mozilla as part of the Iodide project. Iodide is an experimental web-based notebook environment for literate scientific computing and communication.
Iodide is no longer maintained. If you want to use Pyodide in an interactive client-side notebook, see Pyodide notebook environments.
