A WebAssembly interpreter written in pure Python.
The wasm version currently in use is: WebAssembly Core Specification, W3C Recommendation, 5 December 2019. Just like Firefox or Chrome does.
$ pip3 install pywasm
-
First we need a wasm module! Grab our
./examples/fib.wasm
file and save a copy in a new directory on your local machine. Note:fib.wasm
was compiled from./examples/fib.c
by WasmFiddle. -
Now, compile and instantiate WebAssembly modules directly from underlying sources. This is achieved using the
pywasm.load
method.
import pywasm
# pywasm.on_debug()
runtime = pywasm.load('./examples/fib.wasm')
r = runtime.exec('fib', [10])
print(r) # 55
A brief description for ./examples
File | Description |
---|---|
./examples/add.wasm | Export i32.add function |
./examples/env.wasm | Call python/native function in wasm |
./examples/fib.wasm | Fibonacci, which contains loop and recursion |
./examples/str.wasm | Export a function which returns string |
./examples/sum.wasm | Equal difference series summation |
Of course there are some more complicated examples!

- Run AssemblyScript on pywasm: https://github.com/mohanson/pywasm_assemblyscript
$ python3 ./test/test_spec.py
Tested in the following environments:
