Wasmer beefs up Python support
"Wasmer has released Wasmer 7, an upgrade of its WebAssembly runtime that introduces an experimental async API that enables full async support in Python. The update also brings support for dynamic linking to WASIX, broadening the platform's support for Python packages. Introduced January 30, Wasmer 7 introduces an experimental async API that offers first-class support for async functions in Python, unlocking powerful libraries such as SQLAlchemy and other Python packages that previously could not run, Wasmer said."
"The async API currently is available across the Singlepass, Cranelift, and LLVM back ends. Wasmer 7 also enables support for dynamic linking in WASIX, the platform's extension to WASI (WebAssembly System Interface), which unlocks support for a much broader ecosystem of Python packages and native modules, Wasmer said. Support for dynamic linking in WASIX removes a situation in which Python support in Wasmer was limited to the core interpreter, with many native libraries, such as Numpy or Pydantic, remaining unsupported. Wasmer 7 removes this limitation."

Wasmer 7 also enables dynamic linking in WASIX, the platform's extension to WASI, broadening support for a much wider ecosystem of Python packages and native modules. Dynamic linking removes the prior restriction to the core interpreter and enables native libraries such as Numpy and Pydantic to be supported.
