I know this isn't correct... but I don't know what is correct. I'm fairly certian it's 3.something...
However, it might be better to leave this line off entirely. Emscripten isn't Tier 3 for 3.13. Having specific build instructions implies (to me) that it should work, and that definitely won't be the case.

That sounds good to me; sorry for the error! Makes sense only to include it for 3.14+.

I'll review this tomorrow. Thanks @adqm ! |

I'll leave it to @hoodmane to provide final confirmation that this is all correct (including the EM_COMPILER_WRAPPER thing); but otherwise, I'm happy with this.

Two minor updates following Hugo's agreement to allow bumping the EMSDK version for RC2.
@hoodmane - are you able to confirm the last details so we can merge this?

I've been running it with 3.12 but it's harmless to say 3.13 here.

This patch includes some updates to the instructions for building for Emscripten, based on discussion from python/cpython#137312 and python/cpython#137025, with the goal of reducing duplicated information between the dev guide and
Tools/wasm/README.mdin the CPython repo.Specifically, this patch makes the following changes:
updates emsdk version information
links to
Tools/wasm/README.mdfor usage instructions beyond what's shown hereadds a note about ccache
adds a note about minimum Python version required for
