Along the way, leave a deprecated Tools/wasm/wasi/__main__.py behind for backwards-compatibility.

+# Python WASI (wasm32-wasi) build
+
+**WASI support is [tier 2](https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/#tier-2).**
+
+This directory contains configuration and helpers to facilitate cross
+compilation of CPython to WebAssembly (WASM) using WASI. WASI builds
+use WASM runtimes such as [wasmtime](https://wasmtime.dev/).
+
+**NOTE**: If you are looking for general information about WebAssembly that is
+not directly related to CPython, please see https://github.com/psf/webassembly.
+
+## Build
+
+See [the devguide on how to build and run for WASI](https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/setup-building/#wasi).
+
+## Detecting WASI builds
+
+### Python code
+
+```python
+import os, sys
+
+if sys.platform == "wasi":
+    # Python on WASI
+    ...
+
+if os.name == "posix":
+    # WASM platforms identify as POSIX-like.
+    # Windows does not provide os.uname().
+    machine = os.uname().machine
+    if machine.startswith("wasm"):
+        # WebAssembly (wasm32, wasm64 potentially in the future)
+```
+
+```python
+>>> import os, sys
+>>> os.uname()
+posix.uname_result(
+    sysname='wasi',
+    nodename='(none)',
+    release='0.0.0',
+    version='0.0.0',
+    machine='wasm32'
+)
+>>> os.name
+'posix'
+>>> sys.platform
+'wasi'
+```
+
+### C code
+
+WASI SDK defines several built-in macros. You can dump a full list of built-ins
+with ``/path/to/wasi-sdk/bin/clang -dM -E - < /dev/null``.
+
+* WebAssembly ``__wasm__`` (also ``__wasm``)
+* wasm32 ``__wasm32__`` (also ``__wasm32``)
+* wasm64 ``__wasm64__``
+* WASI ``__wasi__``
