Just for crying

[aoshiken]

This repo is totally outdated and unsupported, I know, I know...
...but I just want to share my thoughts about:

After wasting some days compiling V8 and patching PyV8 on Debian Stretch x64 platform I give up, that's really a shame but I can't put more time on this.

I fixed some bugs but my latest issue dealing with Isolates on multithreading ended up with a nice stacktrace trying to use a context from inside a thread:

aandres@dev-x64:/usr/local/src/pyv8$ ./kk.py

PyV8.JSEngine.version 5.8.110

PyV8.JSLocker.active False

PyV8.JSLocker.locked False

PyV8.JSLocker.active True

PyV8.JSLocker.locked True

Inside thread body [RUN] before PyV8.JSContext...

[...]

PyV8 unit tests follows just for the sake of confirming "halfworking":

If anyone is interested on more details I could fork the repo (having more time) and make a branch with my modifications, just give me a call.

Bye, bye guys

@danielburchardt
if you want to experiment with my changes use my branch https://github.com/aoshiken/pyv8/tree/v5-initial-fixes but it crashes miserably but at least the README.md file explains in a concise way how to setup the V8 framework.

Hope this helps

@aoshiken
