Hi Jeff, Adam,

Thanks a ton for the prompt reply. Few clarifications:

   1. The *python.home* path I gave is the *local* Python 2.7 installation
   path. I assume you are saying this should be *CPython* home rather. I
   will try this after installing CPython locally.
   2. The problem is that I wish to deploy my code on Pivotal Cloud Foundry
   (PCF) where I would not be able to install anything else apart from the
   application JAR, no file-system access is available as since the code runs
   inside PCF containers, I cannot expect Python or CPython to be installed on
   that system.
   3. I tried several thing to make it work (for e.g. extracted the *Lib*
   folder from the JAR and added it on the classpath, also renamed the JAR to
   *jython.jar* and added it to classpath, supplied the Lib folder path as
   *python.path* as well), none of these worked. It seems if there is no
   way to supply the absolute path, then there is no way to make it work from
   within a Java JAR.
   4. My Python script is current 400 LOCs and will keep on growing, so I
   cannot possibly call its *functions* from my Java code as it would
   couple it to the Python code. I guess the only better option would be to
   port this Python code to Java.
   5. I am using Jython Standalone JAR 2.7.1 from Maven central. I think
   what you are saying is that instead of passing command line arguments
   (argv) to the static *initialize* method I can pass it to the
   *PythonInterpreter* object rather. I am not sure how, as I do not such
   any such method in the API. Is there a code example available?

Thanks again for your help.
