[Jython-users] Can you execfile() scripts inside a jar?

[Steve Y. <ste...@gm...>]

This thread seems to suggest that it's possible:

http://sourceforge.net/p/jython/mailman/message/27569349/

But I've tried various incantations with no luck.

My scripts are in a jar file on my classpath.  I've ensured that
the absolute path to the jar is added to sys.path, but when I
call myPythonInterpreter.execfile("/any/path/foo.py"), it throws
an IOError complaining file not found, and it does not appear
to be looking in jars in the classpath or in sys.path -- it's always
checking the path relative to the Java process current directory.

Should I just slurp the contents of the file from the jar and pass
it to exec(), instead?
