pywasm: A WebAssembly interpreter written in pure Python.

A WebAssembly interpreter written in pure Python. JIT used.

The wasm version currently in use is: WebAssembly Core Specification W3C Working Draft, 4 September 2018. Just like Firefox or Chrome does.

Installation

$ pip3 install pywasm

Some simple examples

1. 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.

2. Now, compile and instantiate WebAssembly modules directly from underlying sources. This is achieved using the pywasm.load method.

import pywasm
# pywasm.on_debug()

vm = pywasm.load('./examples/fib.wasm')
r = vm.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

Test

python ./tests/test_spec.py

Tested in the following environments:

• Python 3.7.3
