Cloudflare Python Workers are now generally available After a two year preview, Cloudflare's support for running Python code in their server-side Workers platform is now stable: "Python is now a first-class, fully supported language on the Cloudflare Developer Platform". A neat thing about this is how it works. Cloudflare are running Python compiled to WebAssembly via Pyodide in their V8-based workerd runtime. This comes with some limitations, documented here - most notably both multiprocessing and threading are non-functional in the WebAssembly VM. One particularly interesting detail of this is the local development environment story - their pywrangler development tool (confusingly…
