Compiled PyV8 for Mac OS X

PyV8-OS-X

This is a binary distribution of pyv8, for use with Python >= 2.6.1 and OS X >= 10.6.4, packaged up for easy installation. PyV8 allows Python to access the Google V8 Javascript engine.

The original source of _PyV8.so is from Martin Loewis at uni-potsdam.

$ otool -L _PyV8.so
_PyV8.so:
        /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.9.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.2.0)

Dr. Loewis used the following software to build it:

• pyv8 1.0-dev r282
• Boost 1.44.0
• V8 2.4.6
• Python 2.6.1
• Mac OS X 10.6.4

Installation

A convenient way to install is using pip. You can install within a virtualenv, if you'd like.

To install with pip directly from this git repo, use the command:

pip install -e git://github.com/brokenseal/PyV8-OS-X#egg=pyv8

(see the "Git Read-Only" URL above for the path).

You can then from pyv8 import PyV8 in python and proceed with the examples shown on the pyv8 website.
