It can actually be compiled (or transpiled) into C code [1] with few limitations, so I can't see why not. It still requires libpython but it should be better than porting the whole interpreter to webassembly. [1] https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka

By that logic, you can transpile your Python to C and then compile to Wasm
