How to adapt pdm to pyodide runtime?

[CNSeniorious000]

Pyodide is a wasm build of python. It support installing pure-python packages or packages with a emscripten wheel. And it can access to a virtual fs which makes running third-party libraries seamlessly possible.

I noticed that PDM is installable in pyodide.

We need a package manager to install requirements from pyproject.toml and lock it for faster installation. I think maybe PDM is the best choice.

So I want to fork PDM to create a pyodide-compatible and slimmer pdm, which use native fetch in js and remove other requirements like httpx and rich. Can somebody guide me how can I start with?

If it isn't clear, let me explain like this:

• I need the install, resolve and lock capabilities
• Features like downloading python binary distributions and CLI pretty printing can be removed
• I want to keep the diff small because I want to keep this fork sync with the main upstream

So can somebody point me basically where to look at? I can do the work myself, but maybe I need some guidance. Really thank to anybody who can reply me something!
