Description

It's compiled to WASM by this project: https://github.com/jvail/spl.js

WASM blob here: https://github.com/jvail/spl.js/blob/main/dist/spl.wasm

Would be amazing to figure out how to load this as a Python module, as seen in https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/spatialite.html#spatial-indexing-latitude-longitude-columns

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how to load the spl.wasm blob as a Python module in Pyodide. Check Pyodide's support for loading WebAssembly modules and see if there's a way to expose the SpatiaLite functions via a Python wrapper. Consider using pyodide.ffi or custom build steps.
