Mention more alternative implementations on the PSF website
https://www.python.org/download/alternatives/ should possibly mention: - Cython and Nuitka - Mention the possibility of compiling Python to WASM - WASM allows Web and Mobile use of Python at possibly native speed. Though not mature yet, Pyodide is a working implementation.

That page lists only the most notable or popular implementations. If you want a list of lesser-known Python implementations, try the community wiki: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonImplementations Cython and Nuitka are both there. I don't know how WASM works or how you would compile Python to it, but if "Pyodide" is the name of that compiler, then it's not currently mentioned. You'd be most welcome to add it; since it's a wiki, you don't need anyone's permission (other than a basic anti-spambot check if you've never edited before). ChrisA

I suggest opening an issue at https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues Although personally I think it’s too early to mention WASM. Eric

I agree about the maturity problem, but you could argue that Pyodide is essentially a "repackaging of CPython for WASM", which would belong into the second list on the page, once it reaches a level of compatibility and reliability that makes it relevant for users. Stefan
