dynamic.py depends on DOM.py why? trouble with pyv8run of simple script

[Sarvi Shanmugham]

I've been trying to get pyv8run to execute a very simple test1.py script

def hello():

     return 2+3

print 'Hello World'

pyv8run test1.py works and prints 'Hello World'

But it seems to be compiling a lot of stuff unrelated to test1.py under output/lib

When I traced the dependencies, before it compiles test1.py it starts by tranlsating

builtins/pyjslib.py

This then depends on sys and dynamic.

pyjswidgets/dynamic depends on ['pyjamas.DOM', 'pyjamas', 'sys']

This then cascades into dependence on the rest of pyjamas.

From what I can tell the content of dynamic.py has nothing needed to compile test1.py and seems specific to web/widgets

This also causes a reverse dependency from pyjstools to pyjswidgets which shouldn't be there.

What should I do about it?

Well the subject should have been why does pyjslib need to import dynamic

I removed the "import dynamic" from pyjslib and my test1.py comiled and ran no problem

This time without compiling any of the pyjamas stuff.

Interestingly I tried compiling the KitchSink.py and ran it from the web and everything ran fine without dynamic.

So where is dynamic.py used and where should I add its import without creating a dependency on pyjstools.

I could add it as an import into pyjamas/__init__.py. 

But before that where is used? I can't find where it is used and what it impacts

PS: I ran into this when trying to add closure compiler for deadcode removal
