Re: [Jython-users] PyDev or Ant for jythonc in Eclipse?

[Fabio Z. <fa...@es...>]

Hi Brad,

Pydev does not actually compile your .py files to classes automatically 
(the interpreter for jython is only specified so that code-completion 
works).

This could be added as a feature request to the pydev tracker... In the 
meantime, I would advise you to create an ant script to compile your 
files. This is not currently done because you could probably go and 
always interpret the .py files with jython at runtime, so, you would 
only (in my view) compile the .py files to classes when you do a 
distribution... altough there are probably some scenarios where it would 
be nice to have it compiled automatically.

Cheers,

Fabio
