Hello again. Everything worked when I just gave jythonc the name of the main module. I've got a nice self contained jar to turn in. The tools worked great, but the documentation is weak here. An example of freezing a python application into an executable jar on the jythonc doc page would have gone a long way. I suppose if I guessed the freeze meant translate the transitive closure of the module's dependencies rather than just translate the module I might have got it sooner. I had the same problem last summer, but there it was acceptable to run my program through the interpreter. Jython is a great tool, but the documentation is pretty weak. Mostly everything just works, but it's painful when you need it. For example, I don't know if it's possible to implement a class with static methods in Jython. I'm pretty sure I could figure it out for myself, but everyone figuring everything out for themselves is a lot of wasted effort. Is there any source of documentation other than jython.org? Searching the web I find scattered articles and jython.org. No Wiki in sight. Brandon |

Searching > the web I find scattered articles and jython.org. No Wiki in sight. I have found the book "Jython Essentials" to be exactly that: essential. It contains lots of fine technical detail on a range of important matters. There's probably not much information in it that you couldn't also find through google, through reading the source, or through a few months of hard-won coding experience: but it's really nice to have it all gathered in one place and written coherently and concisely. I consider the GB£15 it cost me to be money well spent. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/jythoness/ Regards, Alan. |
