Wasmer has launched Wasmer 7, an improve of its WebAssembly runtime that introduces an experimental async API that permits full async assist in Python. The replace additionally brings assist for dynamic linking to WASIX, broadening the platform’s assist for Python packages.
Launched January 30, Wasmer 7 introduces an experimental async API that gives first-class assist for async capabilities in Python, unlocking highly effective libraries resembling SQLAlchemy and different Python packages that beforehand couldn’t run, Wasmer mentioned. The async API presently is accessible throughout the Singlepass, Cranelift, and LLVM again ends.
Wasmer 7 additionally permits assist for dynamic linking in WASIX, the platform’s extension to WASI (WebAssembly System Interface), which unlocks assist for a wider ecosystem of Python packages and native modules, Wasmer mentioned. Help for dynamic linking in WASIX removes a scenario through which Python assist in Wasmer was restricted to the core interpreter, with many native libraries, resembling Numpy or Pydantic, remaining unsupported. Wasmer 7 removes this limitation.
