[Jython-users] problems with PythonInterpreter class from Java

[Ryan S. <FL...@FD...>]

For some reason I am having problems using the PythonInterpreter class when
I attempt to embed Jython.  There are no errors whatsoever when I compile,
but when I attempt to run it, I get this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.python.core.PyJavaClass.lookup(PyJavaClass.java:39)
        at org.python.core.PyObject.<init>(PyObject.java:46)

org.python.util.PythonInterpreter.<init>(PythonInterpreter.java:45)
        at SimpleEmbedded.main(SimpleEmbedded.java:6)

Line 6 in SimpleEmbedded.java is where the PythonIntepreter variable is
initialized.  This occurred when trying to run the embed demo that comes
with Jython.  I am using the 1.3 SDK from Sun, and Jython-2.0.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
