Re: [Jython-users] Jython Caching Argv

[Debashish <deb...@gm...>]

Sorry, I got confused by the term CPython, I guess if I have Python
installed its already CPython that I am using :) So the first bullet in my
reply should only read that "Indeed I set *python.home* to my local CPython
installation". And that worked (somehow).
