WebAssembly: Adding Python support to WASM language runtimes
This looks very promising!The thing I most want to solve right now is this: I want to write a regular Python application that can safely execute untrusted Python code in a WASM sandbox as part of its execution.I want to do this so I can let end users customize my web applications in weird and interesting ways by pasting their own Python code into a textarea - think features like "run this Python code to transform my stored data" - without them being able to break my system.This feels like it should be pretty easy with WebAssembly! It's the classic code sandboxing problem - long a big challenge in Python world - finally solved in a robust way.I've been finding it surprisingly hard to get a proof-of-concept of this working though.Essentially I want to be able to do this, in my regular Python code:    import some_webassembly_engine

    python = some_webassembly_engine.load(
        "python.wasm",
        max_cpu_time_in_seconds=3.0,
        max_allowed_memory_in_bytes=32000000
    )
    result = python.execute("3 + 5")

I've not yet figured out the incantations I need to actually do this - in particular the limits on CPU and memory time.I posed this question on Mastodon recently and Jim Kring put together this demo, which gets most of the way there (albeit using an old Python 3.6 build): https://github.com/jimkring/python-sandbox-wasmIt doesn't feel like this should be as hard to figure out as it is!
