This repo contains the Python package for integrating with the Extism Webassembly framework. Install this library into your Python application host to run Extism WebAssembly guest plug-ins.

import extism
import json

manifest = {"wasm": [{"url": "https://github.com/extism/plugins/releases/latest/download/count_vowels.wasm"}]}
with extism.Plugin(manifest, wasi=True) as plugin:
    wasm_vowel_count = plugin.call(
        "count_vowels",
        "hello world",
        parse = lambda output: json.loads(bytes(output).decode('utf-8'))
    )
print(wasm_vowel_count) # {'count': 3, 'total': 3, 'vowels': 'aeiouAEIOU'}
