 then they will be at home with pyv8 - which is a combination of the
pyjamas python-to-javascript compiler and google's v8 engine.

 in pyv8, thanks to v8 (and the judicious application of boost) it's
possible to call out to external c-based modules.

 so not only do you get the benefits of the (much) faster execution
speed of v8, along with its garbage collection, but also you still get
access to external modules.

 so... their project's done, already!
