[Jython-users] Problem using Jython's builtin compile function in Java after migrating to use jython.jar in Jython 2.5.1

[Sharon L. <lu...@us...>]

I have a Java application that uses Jython 2.1 and we're now migrating it 
to use Jython 2.5.1.  However, when we try to compile our Java application 
with the jython.jar file from 2.5.1 in the classpth (instead of the one 
from Jython 2.1), some errors like the following when we attempt to use 
the __builtin__.compile() function to cache Python code in our Java 
application:

STAXUtil.java:235: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method 
compile(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
location: class org.python.core.__builtin__
            PyCode code = __builtin__.compile(parsedCode, "<string>", 
"exec");

This code compiled and ran fine using Jython 2.1.

Can someone explain why this is failing and suggust a fix this so that it 
can be compiled using the Jython 2.5.1 jar file.  Or, point me to 
documentation that describes what changed.
Thanks in advance!
