Python can run in diverse environments, including most recently in the browser. In this talk, we will look at the growing Python in the browser ecosystem, with a focus on the Pyodide project. We will discuss the remaining challenges as well as new possibilities it offers for scientific computing, education, and research. Pyodide is a Python distribution for the browser and Node.js. It includes a build of CPython 3.9 for WebAssembly/Emscripten, a number of common Python packages (including the core scientific stack) as well as the ability to install pure Python packages from PyPI. Pyodide comes with a robust Javascript ⟺ Python foreign function interface so that you can mix these two languages in your code with minimal friction.
