Simon Willison: Publishing WASM Wheels to PyPI for Use With Pyodide
Willison's June 13 post walks through publishing WebAssembly wheels to PyPI so Python packages run client-side under Pyodide, alongside a new Datasette 1.0a33 release that adds JSON 'extras' to the API. He built a custom extras-API explorer tool with Claude Fable 5 to demo the feature — a concrete example of the build-a-throwaway-tool-to-understand-a-feature workflow. For builders shipping browser-side Python, the WASM-wheel packaging path is the actionable takeaway.
