Pythonmonkey

Our JS Proxies now implement all Array and Object methods on Python Lists and Dicts, and our Python List and Dict subtypes implements operators and methods on JS Arrays and Objects.

One can now do
py
items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
result = [None]
pm.eval("(result, arr) => {result[0] = arr.some((element) => element % 2 === 0)}")(result, items)
-> result[0] == True

and going the other way
py
a = pm.eval("([1,2,3,4,5,6])")
b = a[1:5]
-> b == [2,3,4,5]

We also have all the iterators returned by such methods as values() now working without making copies of the object being iterated upon

This release adds a new type, JSArrayProxy, a subtype of list, to properly proxy JavaScript Arrays as python lists, including having all of the appropriate methods.

This release also adds new methods to JSObjectProxy to more closely match dict. It now has all the same methods as dict except for the following: keys(), items(), update(), and values(). These will be added soon in a future release.

This release includes implementations for URLSearchParams, XMLHttpRequest, atob, btoa, setTimeout, and clearTimeout. It also adds python 3.12 compatibility, better stringification for cross-language objects, and adds an event loop to pmjs. Finally, it fixes a bug preventing some users from installing pythonmonkey from source distributions.

This release includes a debugger for debugging JS code in pythonmonkey. It also exposes the `new` and `typeof` operators from Javascript as functions, as well all of the standard built-in objects.

Our first public release.
