Packaging would presumably be done with PyInstaller.
File access is absolutely critical. The long load times for pyscript/pyodide is probably acceptable, but if they incur significant overhead on file parsing than that would be a blocker.
I tried out file access from pyscript in https://github.com/SciCatProject/pyscript-fs-benchmark. It is only supported in Chrome/Edge, and even there you have to click through two security warnings. However it does work and reading is fast (at least after the loading and file mounting steps).
Based on discussion here

and the different identified use cases, one option is to run the metadata extractor in the browser.
