Introduction

Welcome to the Edge Python docs! 👋 Edge is a sandboxed subset of Python, compiled to a ~200 KB WebAssembly binary and built in Rust to run in the browser. Embed your full business logic, run LLMs client-side, and build frontend apps.

Ecosystem

Quickstart: Run your first Edge Python program in under a minute.

Syntax: How to write a program?

Reference: All the builtin methods.

Implementation: Compiler architecture, dispatch model, and runtime layout.

Try it

Browser:

Try to edit or execute this script:

import time

text = "the quick brown fox"<br>words = {w: len(w) for w in text.split()}

for w, n in words.items():<br>print(f"{w:>6} -> {n}")<br>time.sleep(0.2)

Output · expectedRun

the -> 3<br>quick -> 5<br>brown -> 5<br>fox -> 3

Command Line Interface:

Or download it to your machine (reference docs):

# Compatible with macOS, Linux and WSL<br>curl -fsSL https://cdn.edgepython.com/cli/install.sh | sh

edge -h # List all commands
