love to see so many choices, between spidermonkey and v8, it's a matter of preferring firefox or chrome, Thanks!

Answer 2

+1 A:

This seems to be suitable for my need: http://code.google.com/p/python-spidermonkey/

I've also found a very simple command line tool built in on Mac OS called jrunscript, this works out of the box.

Answer 3

A:

You can use PyQt with the WebKit module :) It has JS engine and can evaluate JS within context of a (X)HTML document.

Which btw uses SquirrelFish (Extreme) from Safari/Webkit on supported platforms.

henrikh 2010-05-02 15:20:57

Oh, and you can also use QScript which is more efficient because it does not have the DOM or rendering to care about. (Uses SquirrelFish too)

Answer 4

+3 A:

Use a spidermonkey binding

from spidermonkey import Runtime
rt = Runtime()
cx = rt.new_context()
result = cx.eval_script(whatyoupostedabove)

This project seems to be dead for a long time, and won't work on snow leopard

overboming 2010-05-04 04:44:45

I use the ruby version on Linux, and it is also kind of dead. But it works. The biggest problem on ruby is not the bindings themselves but to get the right spidermonkey (did not work with 1.9 for example).
