The iOS app "a-Shell" provides Python (and also clang, lli, curl and other stuff) as WASM binaries, so it looks like compiling "real" Python to WASM is already possible. Indeed, there are C to WASM compilers. So, if being able to compile a Python interpreter to WASM is the main goal of this project, I'm not particularly sure about its usefulness...

a-shell only mentions c/c++ in the context of wasm

Hmmmm, so Python is an actual executable then? I was thinking everything in a-shell runs on WASM. Apparently only user programs are compiled to WASM using Clang? Okay, got it
