Since you don't rebind them, you don't need the global statement for 
these three identifiers

idem

And then you have a class. Calling instance methods on the class won't 
work. Looks like there's something missing...

None of "this, and more" is because of javascript. You'll find bad code 
in every language (and without more context, you can't tell if it's bad 
code - might as well be the right thing to do).

FWIW, javascript is a very interesting and powerful language.

I did. Here's the result:

function __dataListener() {
}
function dataListener() {
     var instance = new __dataListener();
     if(instance.__init__) instance.__init__.apply(instance, arguments);
     return instance;
}


function __dataListener_initialize() {
     if(__dataListener.__was_initialized__) return;
     __dataListener.__was_initialized__ = true;
     pyjs_extend(__dataListener, __pyjslib_Object);
     __dataListener.prototype.__class__.__new__ = dataListener;
     __dataListener.prototype.__init__ = function() {
     var data = '';
     };
     __dataListener.prototype.__class__.__init__ = function() {
         return 
__dataListener.prototype.__init__.call.apply(__dataListener.prototype.__init__, 
arguments);
     };
     __dataListener.prototype.__class__.__init__.unbound_method = true;
     __dataListener.prototype.__init__.instance_method = true;
     __dataListener.prototype.onStartRequest = function(request, context) {
     };
     __dataListener.prototype.__class__.onStartRequest = function() {
         return 
__dataListener.prototype.onStartRequest.call.apply(__dataListener.prototype.onStartRequest, 
arguments);
     };
     __dataListener.prototype.__class__.onStartRequest.unbound_method = 
true;
     __dataListener.prototype.onStartRequest.instance_method = true;
     __dataListener.prototype.onStopRequest = function(request, context, 
status) {
     instream.close();
     outstream.close();
     listener.finished(this.data);
     };
     __dataListener.prototype.__class__.onStopRequest = function() {
         return 
__dataListener.prototype.onStopRequest.call.apply(__dataListener.prototype.onStopRequest, 
arguments);
     };
     __dataListener.prototype.__class__.onStopRequest.unbound_method = true;
     __dataListener.prototype.onStopRequest.instance_method = true;
     __dataListener.prototype.onDataAvailable = function(request, 
context, inputStream, offset, count) {
     this.data += instream.read(count);
     };
     __dataListener.prototype.__class__.onDataAvailable = function() {
         return 
__dataListener.prototype.onDataAvailable.call.apply(__dataListener.prototype.onDataAvailable, 
arguments);
     };
     __dataListener.prototype.__class__.onDataAvailable.unbound_method = 
true;
     __dataListener.prototype.onDataAvailable.instance_method = true;
}
__dataListener_initialize();


All this, and more, thanks to the strange idea that it would be better 
to write javascript in Python instead of writing it in javascript !-)
