It wraps the Wasmer engine (written in Rust) and exposes a Python API that mirrors the standard WebAssembly API, allowing you to load WASM modules, instantiate them, and call their exported functions from Python code.\n\nThe package itself is headless\u2014it cannot compile WASM on its own and instead relies on separate compiler packages to handle compilation. Once a module is compiled, it can be executed via the JIT or Native engine. The runtime handles memory safety and sandboxing automatically, so WASM code runs isolated from the host Python process.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to run WebAssembly modules from Python and can accept a dormant project. The package is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, but the lack of releases since 2022-01-07 means no bug fixes or compatibility updates for newer Python or system libraries. Suitable for production use of existing WASM code, but not recommended for new projects requiring ongoing maintenance or support."},"id":"wasmer","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/wasmer","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/wasmer.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/wasmer/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-01-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"wasmer","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python extension to run WebAssembly binaries"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":556723,"position":6017,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.0"}
