[Jython-users] [FYI] Pypi Connector importing packages to Jython on XWiki platform - released

[Krzysiek P. <krz...@gm...>]

Hey!

Thanks again for you help and answers to my questions.
I've just released the extension for XWiki that I was working for.

XWiki has possibility to scirpt on its pages in Python. Under the hood it's
Java Scripting API and Jython that takes care of running this script and
returning result to page. Jython has implementation only for standard
libraries. That's why I created Extension Repository Connector - Pypi - to
be able to import to XWiki other (non-standard) python packages that are
hosted on pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi. All this on running XWiki
instance (without need to restart) - downloaded packages are simply made
available for Java classloader.
