Research monty-wasm-pyodide — Monty WASM + Pyodide explores compiling Monty—a Rust-based, sandboxed Python interpreter—into WebAssembly for seamless browser access. It provides two integration paths: a standalone WASM module accessible directly from JavaScript, and a Pyodide-compatible wheel for usage in Python-in-the-browser environments. The project enables safe, dependency-free Python code execution with features like variable injection, output capturing (including print statements), and robust error handling.
