Run JavaScript code from Python
Project description
PyExecJS
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, then returns the result to you as a Python object.
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) 3
Of course, you can pick particular JavaScript runtime by get() function:
>>> default = execjs.get() # the automatically picked runtime >>> default.eval("1 + 2") 3 >>> jscript = execjs.get("JScript") >>> jscript.eval("1 + 2") 3 >>> node = execjs.get("Node") >>> node.eval("1 + 2") 3
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)'
PyExecJS supports these runtimes:
PyV8 - A python wrapper for Google V8 engine,
Apple JavaScriptCore - Included with Mac OS X
Microsoft Windows Script Host (JScript)
