stuck at "Running setup.py install for v8py" for literally hours

Thanks for the heads up in readme! But, is it possible to use the existing v8 engine installed on the system? Super excited to get this working. Now, waiting for my setup to complete :)

Unfortunately, no, as v8py statically links with a version of v8 built with special flags. See setup.py for details. You can use pip install -v v8py to see the output of the v8 building process, though.

Hey sorry for getting back late,

I ran sudo pip install v8py
The kept for overnight pip install and it failed with this error.

Am not exactly sure of the issue. I am going to try one more time and see if there is anything issue with my environment and gonna monitor it this time.

I'll look into the error. I have a funny feeling it would work in a virtualenv, so could you try that?

Actually I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is. pip install greenstack before installing v8py should fix it. Let me know if it does. (You can uninstall greenstack after installing v8py if you like.)

installing greenstack fixed the issue. Thanks!
