I'm afraid its currently not possible to share namespaces between languages
yet.  I've a patch that went a long way towards that, but its suffering from
a lack of interest - as a track record develops of people using the DOM work
and then complaining about the lack of shared namespaces, it should become
easier :)

Note that it is only "custom" objects that can't be shared - but DOM nodes
etc are shared.  Basically, any attributes provided internally should work
fine, but if your JS code says "windows.foo = bar" (where 'foo' isn't an
internal attribute), Python will not be able to see foo.  However, there
*is* a hack you can use to have Python peek into a JS namespace - the _nsdom
module provides a JSExec function - something like 'str_val, is_undef =
JSExec(window, "foo")' might let you share strings.

I'm afraid the only docs are what you can find in the Wiki.

Cheers,

Mark
