Research cysqlite-wasm-wheel — By cross-compiling cysqlite, a high-performance Cython-based SQLite3 binding, to WebAssembly with Emscripten, this project delivers a ready-to-use wheel for Pyodide that enables rapid, native-like SQLite operations directly in browser-based Python environments. The build pipeline automates all necessary steps, from fetching dependencies to ensuring compatibility with Pyodide 0.25.x (Python 3.11, Emscripten 3.1.46).
