GitHub releases#
You can also download Pyodide packages from GitHub
releases. The full distribution
including all vendored packages is available as pyodide-0.24.0.dev0.tar.bz2
.
The full distribution is quite large (200+ megabytes). The minimal set of files
needed to start Pyodide is included as pyodide-core-0.24.0.dev0.tar.bz2
. It is
intended for use with node which will automatically install missing packages
from the cdn – it is the same set of files that are installed if you use npm install pyodide
. It may also be convenient for other purposes.
You will need to serve these files yourself.
Serving Pyodide packages#
Serving locally#
With Python 3.7.5+ you can serve Pyodide files locally with http.server
:
python -m http.server
from the Pyodide distribution folder. Navigate to http://localhost:8000/console.html and the Pyodide repl should load.
Remote deployments#
Any service that hosts static files and that correctly sets the WASM MIME type and CORS headers will work. For instance, you can use GitHub Pages or similar services.
For additional suggestions for optimizing the size and load time for Pyodide, see the Emscripten documentation about deployments.
