Publishing WASM wheels to PyPI for use with Pyodide

13th June 2026

The Pyodide 314.0 release announcement (via Hacker News) includes news I’ve been looking forward to for a long time:

You can now publish Python packages built for Pyodide (or any Python runtime compatible with the PyEmscripten platform defined in PEP 783) directly to PyPI and install them at runtime.

Previously, the Pyodide maintainers had to maintain, build, and host over 300 packages ourselves. This created a significant burden on our maintainers and became a major bottleneck for the community, as every new package required manual review.

Moving forward, package maintainers can simply build and publish Pyodide wheels to PyPI, just as they do for native wheels on Linux, macOS, or Windows.
