However, Pyodide unfortunately has a pretty slow boot-up time.\n\n### Proposed Actions\n\nTry using [MicroPython](https://docs.pyscript.net/2023.09.1.RC2/user-guide/#micropython) to render ReactPy instead. Because MicroPython does not support installing packages from PyPi, this may involve creating our own system for manually fetching wheels, storing them locally, and then serving them.\n\nThere are [some instructions](https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/packages.html#writing-publishing-packages) on MicroPython's docs on how to build compatible apps, and a bit more detail on the [`micropython-lib` docs.](https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib)\n\nRather than this feature being a completely separate executor, it's likely that we will build it into the the existing `ReactPyCsr` executor via an `ReactPyCsr(interpreter = \"micropython\")` flag.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Archmonger","@type":"Person","name":"Archmonger"},"datePublished":"2025-02-11T00:48:50.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/1273/reactpy/issues/1273"}
