[Jython-users] nose and jython

[Alexandru P. ☀ <the...@gm...>]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone tried to run nose under jython? I must
confess that most probably I've done something wrong as it doesn't
really work for me.

I have both Python 2.5.4 and Jython 2.5.0 installed on my Mac OS
10.5.8. nose was initially installed using easy_install for Python
2.5.4. Then I've just copied the
nosetests script to the jython bin directory and modified the first line from:

#!/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python

to

#!/Users/alex/bin/jython2.5.0/bin/jython

but then I'm seeing the following errors when trying to run nosetests
directly from the Terminal

/Users/alex/bin/jython2.5.0/bin/nosetests: line 3: __requires__:
command not found
/Users/alex/bin/jython2.5.0/bin/nosetests: line 4: import: command not found
from: can't read /var/mail/pkg_resources
/Users/alex/bin/jython2.5.0/bin/nosetests: line 7: syntax error near
unexpected token `newline'
/Users/alex/bin/jython2.5.0/bin/nosetests: line 7: `sys.exit('

2. Second attempt was to run jython nosetests test_module.py, but this
results in errors too:

raceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/alex/bin/jython2.5.0/bin/nosetests", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

3. Last I've figured out there might be things installed under Python
2.5.4 that are not available to Jython, so I went to
CPYTHON/lib/python2.5/site-packages and copied a couple of things from
there and that made it work.

Now, I'm wondering what's the best approach for:

1. installing nose for Jython (the correct way)

2. there seems to be a lot of different spots where Python is
installing modules, so I'm wondering if there's a recommended way to
manage these so I can
have a unique place for these to be used from either CPython and Jython


Many thanks in advance,
