[Jython-users] imp module only seems to work for builtins

[Leinartas, M. <MIC...@or...>]

I can't seem to get imp.find_modules to return anything except builtin modules.  If I try and import anything from javaland I get an ImportError. I haven't found any bugs that address this, does this appear to be one?

>>> import imp
>>> imp.find_module('subprocess')
(<open file '<Java InputStream 'java.io.FileInputStream@f4ca49' as file>', mode 'r' at 0x1>, '/opt/orbitz/tools/lib/jython/Lib/subprocess.py', ('.py', 'r', 1))
>>> imp.find_module('sys')
(None, 'sys', ('', '', 6))
>>> imp.find_module('java.lang.Object')
