wasmpy-build 0.2.0

Emscripten compatible build script for CPython C extensions

WasmPy-Build

This tool can compile CPython C extension files, such as the ones created by Cython, to WebAssembly so that the extensions are platform independent.

The created .wasm files can be imported by WasmPy in a simmilar manner to native C extensions.

This project contains modified CPython header files as well as a build script to ease the creation of .wasm extension files.

Currently this project only supports CPython 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 but I'm hoping to add support for older versions.
