@treyhunner I've been meaning to ask you Trey (I hope it's okay to go off-topic), do you have anything written down about how the Python interpreter behind the Python Morsels pastebin works?

I recently used Pyodide to create a browser demo for one of my old Python projects: https://fietkau.software/timberbot

It was pretty simple to put together, but it suffers from chonky loading and initialization times that I don't see on Python Morsels. Are you using a different engine, or did you create one yourself?

@julian it's a custom compilation of CPython to WebAssembly. The CPython repository has a directory with instructions under Tools/wasm.

The JavaScript I use was originally based on the code in the python.html and python.worker.js files in that directory.

I definitely stumbled through it but I have a process that works well enough for my setup now.
