wrap_py_function(func)

Wrap a Python function such that it can be called from JS.

To be wrapped and exposed in JavaScript, a Python function should:

  1. Be async,
  2. Accept variable positional arguments each of type PythonJSConvertedTypes, and
  3. Return one value of type PythonJSConvertedTypes (a type union which includes None).

The function is rendered on the JavaScript side as an async function (i.e., a function which returns a Promise).

Returns:

Type Description
AbstractAsyncContextManager[JSFunction]

An async context manager which, when entered, yields a JS Function which

AbstractAsyncContextManager[JSFunction]

can be passed into MiniRacer and called by JS code.
