Show HN: Minimal, modern embedded V8 for Python

What're the use cases for this?

Cool. This looks similar to V8 for R that I use for data analysis.<p>Link to V8: [jeroenooms&#x2F;V8: Embedded JavaScript Engine for R](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jeroenooms&#x2F;V8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jeroenooms&#x2F;V8</a>)<p>I use this sometimes because I am so comfortable with nodejs libraries like Moment that I get lazy to figure out things using R.

Could this be used to render React views on the server side? I&#x27;d love to use something like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;markfinger&#x2F;python-react" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;markfinger&#x2F;python-react</a> but without the need to run node.js server on the side.<p>Is there an example I can copy to imitate this approach?

This seems pretty cool. I just tried using jslint to lint a file, it works! <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;ianjosephwilson&#x2F;7c6c0a2c833e92b3a82c6d1c8e50286c" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;ianjosephwilson&#x2F;7c6c0a2c833e92b3a82c...</a>
