-> `wasmtime-py` is only able to run components built with `componentize-py` when the `--stub-wasi` option is used at build time. This is because `wasmtime-py` does not yet support [resources](../design/wit.md#resources), and `componentize-py` by default generates components which use resources from the `wasi:cli` world.
