Nice! I hadn't tested it yet, but I remember trying to run V8 in Python and it was a real mess - I think that even building it was problematic. I might use this project one day. Did you compare your bindings to alternatives?

If I get it correctly this is V8Py meaning it allows javascript (V8) to call Python scripts, not the other way around.

"Write Python APIs, then call them from JavaScript using the V8 engine"

That's what I took that phrase to mean, but if you look at the example in the read me, it appears to be the other way around. Writing python, defining a method, then wrapping that method in a V8 context and running it from within python.

It's both!

No, because there really aren't any alternatives... There is PyV8, which last I checked does not compile on recent versions of V8
