v8-python¶

v8-python provides Python bindings for embedding V8 and running JavaScript, built on denoland/rusty_v8.

Use it to create V8 isolates and contexts, evaluate JavaScript, exchange values between Python and JavaScript, expose Python functions and classes, and install host APIs such as timers, console, module loading, and WebAssembly. The runtime binding layer is implemented in Rust using denoland/rusty_v8.

Install¶

pip install v8-python

if you're using uv, you can also install with:

For local development:
