Okay I updated this to handle numpy, added more detailed comments and internal tests.

Okay, now there is a problem that rust uses randomness for hash seeds: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/sys/pal/unix/rand.rs#L235-L247 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/hash/random.rs?plain=1#L68

@kentonv This makes sense, are there other development-only features that I could look at for inspiration?

Well `node_resolvePath` should return `path` unchanged if it contains `://`. But then there's a problem with `__dirname`.

The problem is here: https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/main/src/shell.js?plain=1#L223 If I fix that, it successfully fetches `pyodide.asm.js` but fails to run it with `nodeVmMod.runInThisContext` with the error: ``` A dynamic import callback was not...
