[Jython-users] jython start up problem

[Raghuram D. <ra...@sy...>]

Hi,

Please check the following commands and their output (run on linux).

---------------------
$ java -cp /usr/share/jython22/jython.jar 
-Dpython.home=/usr/share/jython22 org.python.util.jython
Jython 2.2a1 on java1.4.2_06 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>>

$ java -cp /usr/share/jython22/jython.jar: 
-Dpython.home=/usr/share/jython22 org.python.util.jython
Jython 2.2a1 on java1.4.2_06 (JIT: null)
error importing site
Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/usr/share/jython22/Lib/site.py", line 66, in ?
AttributeError: java package 'sys' has no attribute 'modules'

$ java -cp /usr/share/jython22/jython.jar:xyz 
-Dpython.home=/usr/share/jython22 org.python.util.jython

Jython 2.2a1 on java1.4.2_06 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>>
-----------------------------

The only difference in 3 iterations is in the value passed to "-cp" option.

1) /usr/share/jython22/jython.jar
2) /usr/share/jython22/jython.jar:
3) /usr/share/jython22/jython.jar:xyz

The problem comes in (2) where classpath is terminated with ":". Doesn't 
  this look weird?

Thanks,
Raghu.
