Since IMO PyV8 is not well maintained, it only really works with certain combinations of V8 builds and PyV8 builds. Beware of memory leaks as well, I needed to wrap it with some very specific cleanup code to get something stable. This approach is documented in the following issue:

https://code.google.com/p/pyv8/issues/detail?id=229&sort=-id

If I'd start over I would look into doing IPC between a node.js process and a python process to get the same functionality in a more stable and efficient manner.
