@flier Any news about this?

[noraj]

No description, no README, no documentation, no installation steps, no guide, no support, ... don't expect anything from this repository

[alex-polosky]

I think in order to use it, v8 needs to be installed.

You can find that over here: https://github.com/v8/v8

And I also found possible binaries, but have yet to try them here: https://github.com/emmetio/pyv8-binaries

I've tried setting the CPATH variables to point to my local install of node, and other errors do pop up, like a candidate expects 2 arguments, 1 provided

So this probably requires a specific version of V8 to work.
