http://wiki.mozilla.org/Breaking_the_grip_JS_has_on_the_DOM).

See also bug 255942 - "Support other scripting languages than JS".

Not part of the build - indeed this will not build at all until bug
255942 lands, or the latest patch there is applied.

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.
