This is the Python/DOM bindings for Mozilla.
|
|
|
|
These bindings consist of an XPCOM component implementing
|
|
nsIScriptRuntime, nsIScriptContext and related interfaces. See
|
|
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Breaking_the_grip_JS_has_on_the_DOM for
|
|
a general description of what this means.
|
|
|
|
The XPCOM component is implemented in C++ and can be found in
|
|
the 'src' directory. This component delegates to a Python implementation
|
|
inside a Python 'nsdom' package, which can be found in the nsdom directory.
|
|
|
|
This directory is built by configuring the Mozilla build process with
|
|
the 'python' extenstion enabled - eg, '--enable-extensions=python,default'
|
|
|
|
The 'test' directory contains all test related code - notably a 'pyxultest'
|
|
chrome application. If you build with --enable-tests, you can run this test
|
|
by opening the chrome URL 'chrome://pyxultest/content' (exactly how you do
|
|
that depends on what project you are building). See test/pyxultest/README.txt
|
|
for more.
