wasmer-sdk 0.0.1

Python bindings for the Wasmer sandbox SDK

Wasmer SDK for Python

The Python package is a typed, handwritten façade over the Rust wasmer-sdk, exported through UniFFI. Package resolution, sandbox state, commands, live processes, streams, files, and ports follow the same model as the Rust and JavaScript SDKs. Constructing Wasmer() is synchronous; only operations that perform I/O and deterministic shutdown are awaited.

from wasmer_sdk import Wasmer

client = Wasmer(cache_root=".wasmer")
python = await client.packages.load("python/python@3.12")
sandbox = await client.sandboxes.create(
    packages=[python],
    files={"main.py": "print('hello from WASIX')"},
)
output = await sandbox.command(
    "python", ["/workspace/main.py"]
).run(check=True)
print(output.text())

For long-lived applications and tests, await client.close() or async with Wasmer() as client provides deterministic cleanup.

Build the local native package and run the executable tests from the repository root:

python3 python/scripts/build.py --release
PYTHONPATH=python/src \
  python3 -m unittest discover -s python/tests -v

The generated _native.py module and platform library are private implementation details. Applications should only import from wasmer_sdk.

Examples

Run a Python package:

PYTHONPATH=python/src python3 python/examples/python_package.py

Serve HTTP with wasmer/edgejs-quickjs:

PYTHONPATH=python/src python3 python/examples/edgejs_http.py

Run wasmer/pglite under Wasmer, then query it with the standard native psql client:

PYTHONPATH=python/src python3 python/examples/postgres_psql.py

The example accepts --psql /path/to/psql when the client is not on PATH.
