[Jython-users] Constructing an instance from a reference to a java method

[Updike, C. <Cla...@jh...>]

I'm trying to construct an instance of a java object given a reference
to a=20
method of a java class.  It is simple to do it for a jython class:

>>> from org.python.core import PyMethod, PyReflectedFunction
>>> def instanceFromMethod(method):
...    if type(method) =3D=3D PyMethod:
...       return method.im_class()
...    elif type(method) =3D=3D PyReflectedFunction:
...       print "Sorry..."
...    else:
...       raise Exception("Must be a function or a reflected function")
...
>>> class X:
...    def f(self):
...       pass
...
>>> instanceFromMethod(X.f)
<__main__.X instance at 6814979>
>>>

But I don't know how to do anything similar when it is a java-based
method:

>>> from java.lang import Object
>>> instanceFromMethod(Object.toString)
Sorry...

PyReflectedFunction doesn't seem to expose anything traceable back to
the original
class (or proxy thereof).  Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA,
