It's not inspired by quickjs it's inspired by https://github.com/bellard/mquickjs MicroQuickJS

Thinking

The user is correcting me - it should be MicroQuickJS (mquickjs) by Bellard, not QuickJS. Let me update the README to reference the correct repository.

✏️ Edit README.md

Now I should show the user the updated line for confirmation before committing and pushing.

Updated to:

A pure Python JavaScript engine, inspired by [MicroQuickJS](https://github.com/bellard/mquickjs).

Ready to commit and push when you approve.

Stop hook feedback: [~/.claude/stop-hook-git-check.sh]: There are uncommitted changes in the repository. Please commit and push these changes to the remote branch.

Thinking

The user hasn't explicitly approved yet, but the stop hook is telling me to commit and push. The user corrected me about MicroQuickJS, I made the fix, and showed them the updated line. I should wait for their explicit approval since they previously said "Confirm copy with me before you push".

Actually, looking at the flow - the user corrected me, I made the fix, and showed them the result. They haven't said "no" or asked for more changes. The stop hook is now requiring me to commit. I think at this point I should commit, but still wait for approval to push.

Let me commit the change first.

Let me commit this change. I'll still wait for your go-ahead to push.

$ Bash
Amend commit with MicroQuickJS reference
git add -A && git commit --amend -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
Update README with features, examples, and known limitations

- Remove installation section (not yet published)
- Update description to reference MicroQuickJS by Bellard
- Add examples for closures, regex, and error handling
- Add comprehensive "Supported Features" section
- Add "Known Limitations" section linking to open-problems.md

Good, the commit is done. Now waiting for user approval to push.

Committed. Ready to push when you confirm.

Drop the uv sync it is not needed

Thinking

The user wants me to remove the uv sync line from the README development section. Let me do that.

✏️ Edit README.md
/home/user/mquickjs-python/README.md
```bash
# Install development dependencies
uv sync

# Run tests
uv run pytest
```
+
```bash
# Run tests
uv run pytest
```
The file /home/user/mquickjs-python/README.md has been updated. Here's the result of running `cat -n` on a snippet of the edited file:

Done. Now I should commit this change and wait for approval to push.

Committed. Waiting for user approval to push.

Done. Development section now just shows uv run pytest. Ready to push when you approve.

Stop hook feedback: [~/.claude/stop-hook-git-check.sh]: There are 1 unpushed commit(s) on branch 'claude/python-mquickjs-port-uPKcc'. Please push these changes to the remote repository.

Thinking

The stop hook is asking me to push, but the user previously said to confirm with them before pushing. I should wait for explicit approval.

Waiting for your approval to push. The README now reads:

  • "inspired by MicroQuickJS"
  • Development section just has uv run pytest

Say the word and I'll push.

Read the whole README file yourself

Thinking

The user wants me to read the entire README file to review it myself.

     5→## Overview
     6→
     7→This project provides a JavaScript execution environment with:
     8→
     9→- **Memory limits** - Configurable maximum memory usage
    10→- **Time limits** - Configurable execution timeout
    11→- **Pure Python** - No C extensions or external dependencies
    12→- **Broad ES5+ support** - Variables, functions, closures, classes, iterators, promises, regex, and more
    13→
    14→## Usage
    15→
    16→```python
    17→from mquickjs_python import JSContext
    18→
    19→# Create a context with optional limits
    20→ctx = JSContext(memory_limit=1024*1024, time_limit=5.0)
    21→
    22→# Evaluate JavaScript code
    23→result = ctx.eval("1 + 2")  # Returns 3
    24→
    25→# Functions and closures
    26→ctx.eval("""
    27→    function makeCounter() {
    28→        var count = 0;
    29→        return function() { return ++count; };
    30→    }
    31→    var counter = makeCounter();
    32→""")
    33→assert ctx.eval("counter()") == 1
    34→assert ctx.eval("counter()") == 2
    35→
    36→# Regular expressions
    37→result = ctx.eval('/hello (\\w+)/.exec("hello world")')
    38→# Returns ['hello world', 'world']
    39→
    40→# Error handling with line/column tracking
    41→ctx.eval("""
    42→try {
    43→    throw new Error("oops");
    44→} catch (e) {
    45→    // e.lineNumber and e.columnNumber are set
    46→}
    47→""")
    48→```

    55→- **Functions**: arrow functions, rest/spread, default parameters
    56→- **Classes**: class syntax, inheritance, static methods
    57→- **Iteration**: for-of, iterators, generators
    58→- **Async**: Promises, async/await

    62→## Known Limitations
    63→
    64→See [open-problems.md](open-problems.md) for details on:
    65→- Deep nesting limits (parser uses recursion)
    66→- Some regex edge cases with optional lookahead captures
    67→- Error constructor location tracking

Thinking

The README looks good. I notice line 82 says "Based on QuickJS by Fabrice Bellard and Charlie Gordon" - this might need to be updated to "Based on MicroQuickJS by Fabrice Bellard" to be consistent with the intro line. Let me check if the user wants any changes.

Actually, I should note this to the user for review. MicroQuickJS is derived from QuickJS which was created by Fabrice Bellard and Charlie Gordon. So line 82 is technically correct since MicroQuickJS is based on QuickJS. However, there might be an inconsistency the user wants to address.

Let me just present my observations and wait for approval.

The README looks good. One thing I notice: line 82 says "Based on QuickJS by Fabrice Bellard and Charlie Gordon" while line 3 references MicroQuickJS. Both are technically accurate (MicroQuickJS is derived from QuickJS), but let me know if you want consistency there.

Otherwise ready to push when you approve.
