Minimal standalone wasm binary

[yklcs]

Hello, I'm interested in using python-wasm to power a Python repl in the browser. Currently, python-wasm for the browser seems to be built into a rather complicated package by default. Is there any way to build a standalone wasm binary just for the repl? Something that just targets wasm32-unknown-unknown and exposes interpretation would be useful to those looking to build on python-wasm.

Thanks for all the excellent work.

Is there any way to build a standalone wasm binary just for the repl?

Can you please clarify? Do you just want something that is basically like the existing python-wasm package, but doesn't include numpy/pandas/sympy/etc. -- it contains only core Python packages that are included with Python?

Also, to be clear, is this something you want to run via node.js on a server, or in a browser?

I was hoping to build something for the browser with only the core Python interpreter and stdlib. I was wondering whether dist/python.wasm could be used (with some JS glue) to achieve this. The current build of python-wasm appears to load and bundle a lot of archives, which I want to avoid if at all possible.
