running python.wasm running a test.py script that uses requests package gets stuck in on import requests.

[relcodedev]

I am testing the scenario from https://wasmlabs.dev/articles/python-wasm32-wasi/

works with wasmtime and wasmedge. They are able to find requests but fails because ssl is not available which is the correct error.

wasmer run ./bin/python-3.12.0.wasm --mapdir lib:usr/local/lib --mapdir /app:$(PWD) -- /app/test.py

just gets stuck on import requests

I am able to run the repl

wasmer run bin/python-3.12.0.wasm --mapdir lib:usr/local/lib

the repl loads

I run import requests and no output for 20+ min.

I ran repl with verbose and got

import '_socket' # <class '_frozen_importlib.BuiltinImporter'>

This also doesn't work with wasmer run python/python and specifying PYTHONPATH to requests.

wasmer -vV; rustc -vV

RUN-137 running python.wasm running a test.py script that uses requests package gets stuck in on import requests.

Thanks for opening the issue. We'll investigate. Meanwhile, because socket support in Wasi Preview 1 (the target that Python is compiled to in the link you posted) is very unstable, I don't think it will fully work with them even if SSL is available.

We will debug to see where the halt is coming from, as that's likely an issue in Wasmer. But meanwhile, can you try to run your program (that uses requests) in Wasmer with the Python package from the Wasmer registry: https://wasmer.io/python/python and let us know if that doesn't work for you?

$ wasmer run python/python

It may be useful to see how to run packages with dependencies based on this example: https://github.com/wasmerio/python-flask-example

[relcodedev]

yes I previously ran the one from the register and the same thing occurred. It was stuck in the same place.

@relcodedev you need to specify wasmer run --net to enable networking.

I don't see that in your posted CLI command.

[relcodedev]

I didn't add --net because I wanted to make sure it failed. I want to test that the script did not have any network access. The other runtimes fail and give appropriate message and not get stuck.

[theduke]

Yeah that may well be a bug.

Until we have time to investigate, you could run with RUST_LOG=wasmer_wasix=trace wasmer run ... to see a log of the syscalls, which would likely tell us where things get stuck.

[relcodedev]

Ok, I retested with with wasmer run python/python and it works but not with my python.wasm file. Sorry, I thought I tested properly last time with python/python. I get the proper Not Supported message.

Using my version of the python.wasm, this is the output below.

my script has import sys and import socket. I remove import socket it works.

with import socket, these are the last ~34 lines

As long as things from the Wasmer registry work, we should be good to go @relcodedev .

The Python package in the registry uses WASIX instead of WASI, and as such requests/asyncio/sockets/... are fully supported. If you have compiled your python.wasm manually without using WASIX, we can't guarantee the work (since there might be an issue on the way you compiled it).

Is there any reason for using that Python Wasm file instead of the official in the Wasmer repository (python/python)?

[relcodedev]

We need to run in a locked down environment. Is there a way to pull down the python/python version to keep locally? Does wasmer store the file locally on run?
