RE: [Jython-dev] help

[Thomas B. B. <tb...@sy...>]

Please note that you can actually "talk both ways" in a Java/Jython setup.
Which way to "talk" is up to  you. If you (as you wrote initially) want to
program in Python from your java code, the simplest approach in my opinion
is to instantiate a PythonInterpreter object in your Jythonized code. If you
want to access java from Jython (as you also mentioned), you could write a
Jython (Python) script that does that. To get a "feel" for this approach,
however, you could also try the interactive Jython interpreter. Try building
a simple JFrame, add buttons and dingenots on the fly. It's great fun!

To Jythonize your java code from JBuilder you need to install (at least) the
jython.jar file to some well-known directory. Then create a "library" in
JBuilder that references this .jar file. Include this library in your
JBuilder project, and you are set. To access additional .py modules, you
will need to add the "lib" directory from the Jython package to your local
Jython directory where you installed the jython.jar file.

See www.jython.org for additional info on installing Jython from the
"self-extracting" .class file and embedding Jython code in Java.
