PyExecJS2 1.6.1

PyExecJS (EOL)

End of life
This library is no longer maintananced. Bugs are not be fixed (even if
they are trivial or essential).
We suggest to use other library or to make a fork.

Run JavaScript code from Python.
PyExecJS is a porting of ExecJS from Ruby. PyExecJS automatically
picks the best runtime available to evaluate your JavaScript program.
A short example:
>>> import execjs
>>> execjs.eval("'red yellow blue'.split(' ')")
['red', 'yellow', 'blue']
>>> ctx = execjs.compile("""
... function add(x, y) {
... return x + y;
... }
... """)
>>> ctx.call("add", 1, 2)

Supported runtimes

First-class support (runtime class is provided and tested)

PhantomJS
Nashorn
- Included with Oracle Java 8

Second-class support (runtime class is privided but not tested)

Apple JavaScriptCore - Included with Mac OS X
Microsoft Windows Script
Host
(JScript)
SlimerJS
Mozilla SpiderMonkey

Installation
$ pip install PyExecJS
or
$ easy_install PyExecJS

Details
If EXECJS_RUNTIME environment variable is specified, PyExecJS pick
the JavaScript runtime as a default:
>>> execjs.get().name # this value is depends on your environment.
>>> os.environ["EXECJS_RUNTIME"] = "Node"
>>> execjs.get().name
'Node.js (V8)'
You can choose JavaScript runtime by execjs.get():
>>> default = execjs.get() # the automatically picked runtime
>>> default.eval("1 + 2")
3
>>> import execjs.runtime_names
>>> jscript = execjs.get(execjs.runtime_names.JScript)
>>> jscript.eval("1 + 2")
3
>>> import execjs.runtime_names
>>> node = execjs.get(execjs.runtime_names.Node)
>>> node.eval("1 + 2")

The pros of PyExecJS is that you do not need take care of JavaScript
environment. Especially, it works in Windows environment without
installing extra libraries.
One of cons of PyExecJS is performance. PyExecJS communicate JavaScript
runtime by text and it is slow. The other cons is that it does not fully
support runtime specific features.
PyV8 might be better choice for
some use case.
