Mozilla spins out Pyodide Python-in-the-browser project Projects running Python and its scientific stack in web browsers via WebAssembly will be maintained by volunteer contributors. Credit: Dreamstime Pyodide has been spun out by Mozilla into an independent, community-driven project. Consisting of the CPython 3.8 interpreter compiled to WebAssembly, Pyodide allows Python to run in web browsers. The Pyodide project has a new home in a separate GitHub organisation, at github.com/pyodide, with documentation at pyodide.org. The project will be maintained by volunteers. A governance document has been published along with a project roadmap, which outlines goals such as better performance of Python code, reducing download sizes, and simplification of package loading.
