[Jython-dev] Status of execfile(InputStream)

[Norman H. <hen...@in...>]

Hello,

sorry for asking a dumb question. I would like to read Jython skripts
from arbitrary Java InputStreams, not just from local files.
The jyhton class documentation lists the method I need:

http://www.jython.org/docs/api/org/python/util/PythonInterpreter.html#execfile(j
ava.io.InputStream)

but there are no details, and the method does not seem to work.
What am I doing wrong, or should I just wait a little?

Thanks in advance,
Norman.
