-Execute arbitrary JavaScript code from Python. Allows you to reference
-arbitrary Python objects and functions in the JavaScript VM
-
-Having issues?
-==============
-
-The project support site can be found at [lighthouseapp.com][lh].
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-Pkg-Config
-----------
-
-Mac OS X:
-
-This should be installed by default. If not there is a port package:
-
- $ sudo port install pkgconfig
-
-Debian/Ubuntu:
-
-This is also generally installed by default, but I have reports of it being
-otherwise.
-
- $ sudo apt-get install pkg-config
-
-Gentoo:
-
- $ sudo emerge dev-util/pkgconfig
-
-Python Development Files
-------------------------
-
-Mac OS X:
-
-If you installed Python via port then the headers should already be installed.
-I have not heard reports of problems from people using the bundled
-interpreters.
-
-Debian/Ubuntu:
-
- $ sudo apt-get install pythonX.X-dev
-
-Where X.X is the version of Python you are using. I have not tested
-python-spidermonkey on Py3K so it may be horribly broken there.
-
-Gentoo:
-
-If you have python installed, then the headers should already be installed.
-
-Netscape Portable Runtime (nspr)
---------------------------------
-
-The nspr library is required for building the Spidermonkey sources. You should
-be able to grab it from your package manager of choice with something like the
-following:
-
-Mac OS X:
-
- $ sudo port install nspr
-
-Debian/Ubuntu:
-
- $ sudo apt-get install libnspr4-dev
-
-Gentoo:
-
- $ sudo emerge dev-libs/nspr
-
-Alternatively you can build from [source][nspr]. If you choose this route make
-sure that the nspr-config command is on your $PATH when running the install
-commands below.
-
-If you choose this route make
-sure that the pkg-config command is on your `$PATH` when running the install
-commands below. Additionally, make sure that `$PKG_CONFIG_PATH` is properly
-set.
-
-XULRunner (optional)
---------------------
-You can optionally build the extension linked to your system's spidermonkey
-library, which is installed with XULRunner. You should be able to grab it from
-your package manager of choice with something like the following:
-
-Mac OS X:
-
- $ sudo port install xulrunner
-
-Debian/Ubuntu:
-
- $ sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9-dev
-
-Gentoo:
-
- $ sudo emerge net-libs/xulrunner
-
-As with [nspr][nspr], you can also build [xulrunner][xulrunner] from source. And as with [nspr][nspr] you need to make sure hat `$PATH` and `$PKG_CONFIG_PATH` are properly set when building the module.
-
-Installation
-============
-
- $ git clone git://github.com/davisp/python-spidermonkey.git
- $ cd python-spidermonkey
- $ python setup.py build
- $ python setup.py test
-
- $ sudo python setup.py install
-
- *OR*
-
- $ sudo python setup.py develop
-
-If you want to build with the system spidermonkey library, replace the build
-command with the following:
-
- $ python setup.py --system-library build
-
-Examples
-========
-
-Basics
-------
-
- >>> import spidermonkey
- >>> rt = spidermonkey.Runtime()
- >>> cx = rt.new_context()
- >>> cx.execute("var x = 3; x *= 4; x;")
- 12
- >>> class Orange(object):
- ... def is_ripe(self,arg):
- ... return "ripe %s" % arg
- ...
- >>> fruit = Orange()
- >>> cx.add_global("apple", fruit)
- >>> cx.execute('"Show me the " + apple.is_ripe("raisin");')
- u'Show me the ripe raisin'
-
-
-Playing with Classes
---------------------
-
- >>> import spidermonkey
- >>> class Monkey(object):
- ... def __init__(self):
- ... self.baz = "blammo"
- ... def wrench(self, arg):
- ... return "%s now wrenched" % arg
- ...
- >>> rt = spidermonkey.Runtime()
- >>> cx = rt.new_context()
- >>> cx.add_global("Monkey", Monkey)
- >>> monkey = cx.execute('var x = new Monkey(); x.baz = "schmammo"; x;')
- >>> monkey.baz
- u'schmammo'
- >>> monkey.__class__.__name__
- 'Monkey'
-
-
-JavaScript Functions
---------------------
-
- >>> import spidermonkey
- >>> rt = spidermonkey.Runtime()
- >>> cx = rt.new_context()
- >>> func = cx.execute('function(val) {return "whoosh: " + val;}')
- >>> func("zipper!");
- u'whoosh: zipper!'
-
-
-Filtering access to Python
---------------------------
-
- >>> import spidermonkey
- >>> rt = spidermonkey.Runtime()
- >>> def checker(obj, name):
- ... return not name.startswith("_")
- ...
- >>> cx = rt.new_context(access=checker)
- >>> # Alternatively:
- >>> cx.set_access() #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
- <function checker at ...>
- >>> cx.set_access(checker) #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
- <function checker at ...>
- >>> cx.add_global("fish", {"gold": "gone", "_old_lady": "huzza"})
- >>> cx.execute('fish["_old_lady"];')
- Traceback (most recent call last):
- ...
- JSError: Error executing JavaScript.
