[Jython-dev] Help

[Stephen F. <ste...@ea...>]

My job requires me to write automated
test sequences.

I believe they plan to use Jython for
this purpose.

I can read scripts okay.  They make sense.

I am ignorant of (but not limited to )
the following:

Java
Java script
Java beans
Java anything
Python
Jython
JPython

I just need some starting point lower
than what I have seen
on Jython.org

Thanks

Greetings!

I am very new to this jython.
I want to contribute to jython from my side.=20
Currently I am poking around the module.=20
But I am not able to understand fully. I just
have got some vague idea.

I am very eager to work on this superb project.=20

Actually what i  want is=20

> to add new syntax in jython.=20
> to add my own module into jython

I want to do these above and those should perfectly work.
But i dont know  where to start with,  where is the hook., and
how python syntax is converted to java byte code.

One good news is that:=20
---------------------
I implemented a new built-in function=20
into the existing jython. It is working fine.=20

So could you please help me out on=20
this new venture?

Kindly help me by=20

I'm afraid that there really isn't any good internal design docs yet.

The best place to go for this level of info is the jython wiki:
http://wiki.python.org/jython/

Especially here: http://wiki.python.org/jython/JythonDeveloperGuide

Though the wiki feels very slow today...

Also the web page: http://jython.org/Project/devguide.html

You should probably be more exact about what you are working on (so
you don't work on something already done, etc) and when you do have
something you'd like to contribute, you could send it as a patch here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12867&atid=312867

Welcome!

It's usu. called test scenario, test case and test suite.

Excellent choice if your project is using java. Best of both worlds.

It would be helpful if you can figure out the relationship among the above
first. In short:
* Java runs on JVM (java virtual machine);
* Java script does not have much to do with Java, a seperate scripting
language;
* Java beans is not a language, it's a component architecture so one program
can figure out how other component is structured;
* Python is an OO dynamic scripting language
* Jython is a python implementation on top of JVM, so it can interact with
java program
* JPython is the old name/version of Jython

* http://www.amk.ca/bookstore/python.html Get the "Learning Python" book,
IMHO it's good.
* PyUnit unit test framework: http://pyunit.sourceforge.net/
* DDJ jpython article:
  http://www.ddj.com/articles/1999/9904/9904toc.htm (search for jpython on
the page)
  Once you have jython installed, try some examples from
http://www.ddj.com/ftp/1999/1999_04/jpython.txt
  It even has a lightweight unit test framework included.

In the future, this kind of question better be directed to [jython-users]
list.
