[Jython-dev] Newbie on jython

[Syver E. <sy...@cy...>]

Hi!

I am contacting you to find what forums are the best to use when being a =
total newbie on jython and java. Should I use the comp.lang.python group =
or are there other forums that are more appopriate for jython questions.

I've been using cpython for about half a year and find it really =
excellent, I thought that jython would be a good entrance into the java =
world, and it seems to be.

I have a couple of questions that should be directed to the proper =
forum, but state them here anyway, if someone has the time too enlighten =
me.

There's a couple of things that I don't get yet. How can I compile a .py =
file into a java .class? I've read the documentation on this, but there =
seems to be something I am doing wrong. When trying to compile the .py =
file the javac compiler doesn't seem to find the definitions of several =
python related types (Py prefixed). There's probably some information =
that the compiler isn't getting, but I don't know what information to =
supply.

The option to turn on JIT doesn't seem to work on my machine, as the =
running time of python code doesn't seem to be affected by it (I am =
running the pystone.py from the test directory). jython executes pystone =
4 times slower than cpython under jview (IE 5.0) will this improve with =
JIT.
