Description

I'm imagining this would help users hit by #631 and friends. Pyodide seems like the right tool for the job.

/cc @rth in case he has thoughts on how we could use packaging from the current-latest PyPI release.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #631 and the proposed Pyodide approach, then investigate how packaging from the current-latest PyPI release could support online validation. No files, tests, or entry points are named. Done would mean defining and implementing a workable way for users to check requirements and versions online.
