Re: [Jython-users] JythonC and exec()

Thanks again Diez,
Another misinterpretation on my behalf.

By the way, I'm not after speed, I'm looking to freeze versions of what
I write.

No, it's not. You have a misconception here: compilation of jython is
not compiling it to byte-code. It "only" generates a java-class that
exhibits declared methods, and thus is a way to make a piece of
java-code aware of something actually written in jython. For example,
you can create a struts action that way, which you then can refer to by
the struts-config.

It is _not_ a way translate python to java bytecode!!! It will still be
interpreted, and you can do whatever you want. And of course, you don't
get any speed gains!
