Re: [Jython-users] Jython/Thinking in Patterns Question

[Uncle R. <ro...@ro...>]

I'm operating under the impression that JPython cannot use CPython code.
Brian Zimmer's additional comment suggests the same thing that
John Mudd says - just import glob from CPython.

There is something conceptually that I'm missing here.
Why isn't something like the CPython glob module a part of
the JPython distribution if they can interoperate?  Are we expected to
have both distributions on our search paths - but then, if that is
the case, why does JPython duplicate so much of CPython?

There is some missing concept here that I haven't pick up on.
I don't think JPython and CPython are meant to interoperate.
Bruce Eckels says in his excellent "Thinking in Patterns" that
you can use things like the glob module,  but where does it come from,
since it's not in JPython/Jython, and I'm still making the assumption
that CPython and JPython do not interoperate?

I think the answer hasn't been made yet, which is why I'm still asking
questions.
