RE: [Jython-users] Array to String ???

[Jeff E. <JEm...@lg...>]

You can invoke toString on an array from jython like this:

>>> import jarray,java
>>> ca=jarray.zeros(4,'c')
>>> java.lang.Object.toString(ca)
'[C@5ec59c'

It still doesn't return what Patrick wanted.  He already
had the best solution in his original post, which is to
explicitly construct a java.lang.String from the char[].

Sorry, i confused primitive types with arrays of primitive types.
The problem probably is:
  >>> import jarray
  >>> ca = jarray.zeros(4, 'c')
  >>> pw = ca.toString()
  Traceback (innermost last):
    File "<console>", line 1, in ?
  AttributeError: instance of 'org.python.core.PyArray' has no
attribute 'toString'
