Context creation with global object issue

[buffer]

While porting a project of mine from PyV8 to v8py I experienced an issue with passing the Context a global object (in my case this is the global object https://github.com/buffer/thug/blob/master/thug/DOM/Window.py#L66).

The code which causes the crash is as simple as

_ctxt = v8py.Context(self)

(the context initialization is performed within the same global object).

Following the crash dump I get on Mac OS X but I got a similar trace on Linux as well.

This works fine for me:

import v8py
class Glob:
    def __init__(self, foo='bar'):
        self.ctx = v8py.Context(self)
    def foo(self):
        return 2
Glob()

Can you please create a minimal repo case?

Your example works fine here too. Still trying to figure out what's the reason behind that misbehaviour. I will be traveling in the next days but I'll try to create a a case as soon as I can.

The bug appears to happen when a class has another class as a member. Minimal repro:

import v8py
class Global:
    class Inner:
        pass
v8py.context(Global())

[tbodt]

The easiest workaround would be to put @v8py.hidden on the inner class.
