Hacker News •

Python Workers are now generally available, making Python a first-class language on the Cloudflare Developer Platform. Developers can now run Python applications alongside WebAssembly support, leveraging Pyodide for broad compatibility. This release allows popular frameworks like FastAPI, Django, and Flask to run natively.

A key improvement eliminates the need for manual JavaScript conversion when using Cloudflare bindings, enabling Pythonic interactions with Queues, R2, D1, and other services. Users can connect Python code seamlessly to Workers AI, Durable Objects, and Queues. The platform supports running Python Workers inside other Workers via Dynamic Workers.

This GA release marks the maturation of a multi-year effort to create infinitely scalable Python apps on the edge, matching the ease of development found elsewhere while integrating tightly with the Cloudflare ecosystem.
