Run third-party Python libs in web app

[alderven]

Is there a way (or plans for future) to be able to import third-party Python libs to web app?
For example I'm using vlc lib in my game and getting error when trying to run game in web:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vlc'

First of all, the module should support the wasm target.
But I cannot find python-vlc for the wasm target.

If a module is a pure python module or built for the wasm target, we can import it.
For now, pyxel uses pyodide as a python interpreter.
So you can check its documentation.

for me pyxel is a third party lib that can be downloaded and installed at runtime like numpy and others, but the pyxel wheels i got from #354 (comment) or https://kitao.github.io/pyxel/wasm/pyxel-1.8.8-cp37-abi3-emscripten_3_1_21_wasm32.whl
does not have the top_level.txt record ( which should just contain "pyxel" ) in its pyxel-1.8.0.dist-info folder
is there anything newer with that record file ?

@alderven ffmpeg as a library can run on wasm but i don't think vlc module can, it looks like a full featured player port

@pmp-p As far as I know, the wheel is built every update using maturin. So it will be the latest wheel. If there is no record, I think the maturin missed it.

I'll add a feature with which users can use external modules supported by Pyodide such as Numpy.

In 1.8.14, the packages built in Pyodide can be used with Pyxel Web.
You can specify the packages with packages attribute like packages="numpy,jedi".
