 ### Prerequisites
 
-Developing for WASI requires two things to be installed:
+Developing for WASI requires two additional tools to be installed beyond the typical tools required to build CPython:
 
 1. The [WASI SDK](https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk) 16.0+
-   (see `.devcontainer/Dockerfile` for an example of how to download and install the WASI SDK)
 2. A WASI host/runtime ([wasmtime](https://wasmtime.dev) 14+ is recommended and what the instructions below assume)
 
+All of this is provided in the [devcontainer](https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/setup-building/#contribute-using-github-codespaces) if you don't want to install these tools locally.
 
 ### Building
 
 Building for WASI requires doing a cross-build where you have a "build" Python to help produce a WASI build of CPython (technically it's a "host x host" cross-build because the build Python is also the target Python while the host build is the WASI build; yes, it's confusing terminology). In the end you should have a build Python in `cross-build/build` and a WASI build in `cross-build/wasm32-wasi`.
 
-The easiest way to do a build is to use the `wasi.py` script. You can either have it perform the entire build process from start to finish in one step, or you can do it in discrete steps that mirror running `configure` and `make` for each of the two builds of Python you end up producing (which are beneficial when you only need to do a specific step after getting a complete build, e.g. editing some code and you just need to run `make` for the WASI build).

The script is designed to self-document what actions it is performing on your behalf, both as a way to check its work but also for educaitonal purposes.

 While you _can_ run `python.wasm` directly, Python will fail to start up without certain things being set (e.g. `PYTHONPATH` for `sysconfig` data). As such, the `python.sh` file records these details for you.
