Cause (Documented platform behavior): The import hook adds a note to ModuleNotFoundError distinguishing unloaded distribution packages from removed stdlib modules; wasm-constraints.md lists removed modules.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Derived from pyodide/micropip and pyodide/pyodide sources/docs at one main commit; not reproduced in this session.
Other error fragments:
- is removed from the Python standard library in the Pyodide distribution due to browser limitations.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Import fails at runtime even though the package is supported, or a stdlib module is simply absent.
- Context
- Product: Pyodide Component: imports / package loading Operation: Running generated Python (numpy, pandas, sqlite3, curses, termios…) in Pyodide-based code interpreters without loading packages first Affected versions: unknown Environment: Pyodide (WebAssembly) Packages: pyodide main docs at inspected SHA Trigger: Pyodide does not preload distribution packages — they must be loaded with pyodide.loadPackage / micropip.install (or loadPackagesFromImports); several stdlib modules (curses, dbm, fcntl, grp, pwd, resource, termios, tkinter, venv, …) are removed, and pty/tty cannot be imported.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Pyodide] 'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named <x>' with note 'The module <pkg> is included in the Pyodide distribution, but it is not installed.' / 'is removed from the Python standard
Recommended action: Call await pyodide.loadPackagesFromImports(code) or micropip.install/loadPackage before running; avoid removed stdlib modules (use pure-Python alternatives).
Option: Call await pyodide.loadPackagesFromImports(code) or micropip.install/loadPackage before running; avoid removed stdlib modules (use pure-Python alternatives). [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Running generated Python (numpy, pandas, sqlite3, curses, termios…) in Pyodide-based code interpreters without loading packages first
Steps:
1. In JS: await pyodide.loadPackagesFromImports(code) before runPythonAsync.
2. In Python: await micropip.install('numpy').
3. Replace uses of resource/fcntl/termios etc.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
