[Jython-dev] jythonc with xml.sax

[Gunadi, W. <Wiw...@co...>]

hi!
have any of you successfully compiled a program that imports xml.sax ?
i couldn't get the xml module to be created even when I use --deep switch on
jythonc

Yes, I did.  It was no fun, though; I'm almost glad to hear that someone
else is having problems ;).

In the end, I had to do two things:

* unpack and repack xerces.jar (I'm using Xerces-J 1 from xml.apache.org);
* include sax2.jar

I do not understand why either of these things was necessary, since
things worked fine with the interpreter when I simply put xerces.jar
in jre/lib/ext.  *shrug*

The package is GPL, and you can get the dist Makefile & JARs from CVS
on Sourceforge.  Check out http://familjewels.sourceforge.net/.

In 2.1beta1 I expect parts of the PyXML package to be shipped within the
jython distribution. Based on this new setup I managed to compile a very
simple xml.sax application with jythonc.

In my main program I needed to a dummy function like this:

def dummy_jythonc():
    import xml.sax.drivers2.drv_xmlproc
    import encodings.utf_16_be
    import dumbdbm

It causes the dynamicly loaded modules to be visible to jythonc during
compilation.

The test application is available as test313.py and test313c.py here:

  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jython/bugtests/

This probably doesn't fix your particular problem, but I hope it will
become easier to use xml.sax as the work progress.
