March 2025: PyIodide

Special presenter: Dr. Aaron Nielsen!

PyIodide a port of CPython to WebAssembly/Emscripten). That means real-live Python that can run inside a browser!

DDL has investigated several PyIodide-based technologies in past meetings - PyScript, jupyterlite, and Datasette Lite - but we’ve never yet had a chance to focus on the PyIodide infrastructure that drives them all, and we’ve never before had a chance to hear from someone who has used PyIodide in a real project. Dr. Nielsen will demonstrate his work integrating PyIodide with Quatro - generating a website and presentation slides with executable Python right inside them!

Location: Innovation Hub

We meet in the Innovation Hub, a gorgeous new facility that’s part of the renovated Dayton Arcade complex.
Enter through the doors that face the Wright Stop Plaza bus hub.

Street parking is free in the evening. I usually park on Ludlow Street.

if for any reason coming downtown doesn’t work for you (for instance, you’ve been exposed to COVID, or you’ve converted yourself to purely digital format and now exist as a set of cloud-hosted algorithms), we’ll be online as well!
