Having problems over installing and running py2wasm

I am trying to follow this tutorial (Announcing py2wasm: A Python to Wasm compiler · Blog · Wasmer) and run py2wasm but I am getting this weird problem.

First is that I believe py2wasm might be just an executable like other pip packages I install, or a bat file. (I am fairly new to python and I just want to convert a python code to wasm). But when I head over to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Scripts where the pip packages are located, I can’t seem to find any file related to py2wasm.

Running dir C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\py2wasm* to check any related files about the py2wasm folder only leads to this

Directory: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages

Also, before you could ask yeah I could run other pip packages such as yt-dlp.

After reading their blog, it seems like it doesn’t support Python 3.12, and it looks like you’re using Python 3.12.

They are using Python 3.11 which is just a version below my current python version 3.12.

For projects like this where they’re hooking into the compiled python binaries, you really want to match the version.

Like 3.11 and 3.12 were pretty much released a year apart, a lot can change implementation wise.
