Yes but it works only in the browser - running Pyodide outside of a browser is a lot of extra work.

My previous attempts are described here:

not true

    pyodide venv .venv-pyodide
    source .venv-pyodide/bin/activate

I don't know what runtime it uses but I have tests in nightly CI that run exactly like this.

Interesting - I hadn't seen that before:

> Pyodide provides an experimental command line runner for testing packages against Pyodide. Using it requires nodejs version 20 or newer.

Looks like it's a recent addition?

No clue - I added that CI job around 6 months ago.

I tracked it down to this PR from September 2022, so it's been around for a while: https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide/pull/2976

What is the point of running python in webassembly outside browser?

I want a robust sandbox I can run untrusted code in, outside of the browser.
