Unfortunately, no.  It needs attention from an expert in the targeted field.

To begin with, the “JavaScript” version (actually, only an ECMAScript 
*2015*-compliant version) of the original Python code considers a "class" as 
sealed (properties being only accessor properties with a getter), when in 
Python that is not the case:

class C:
    def foo (self):
        pass

o = C()
C.foo = lambda self, bar: print(bar)

# prints "baz"
o.foo("baz")

Further, to set up multiple inheritance in a conforming implementation of 
ECMAScript, one must not only set up the instance properties as by the 
constructor of a type, but also the *prototype* chain.  In fact, a Proxy 
instance would be required to really set up the *emulation* of such a 
branching prototype chain for any ECMAScript object.

This list of implementation mistakes is not exhaustive, but ECMAScript 
implementations are beyond the scope of this newsgroup/mailing list.
