Hi again,

thanks, finn, for the hint, but ... it doesn't work yet. I've read the site 
you've quoted above and the according site at jython.com. I've tried to 
find the registry file, but wasn't able to do so. Actually it isn't 
neccessary at all, right? I'm working on WinNT and a name .jython for a 
file isn't allowed (Message: You must type a filename). So I suggest it's 
the file called registry at c:\program files\jython as stated in the docs 
of jython (It took half a day to find the hint for that. It's placed _very_ 
unfavourable). Even after adding an own line specifying the path matching 
my system it doesn't work. This is what I've added to c:\program 
files\jython\registry:

# this is how to specify the path at my computer. Joern
python.path=c:\\program files\\jython;c:\\program files\\jython\\lib


After that and adding the code to set the python.path within the script, 
too, I've started the AdventNet SimulationToolkit again. This message was 
written to the log-file of the SimulationToolkit:

Traceback (innermost last):
  (no code object) at line 0
  File "D:\AdventNet\simulator\mibs\_behavior_scripts_\script.py", line 1
	Properties props = new Properties();
	           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Exception while executing the Python Script


But ... erm ... the registry-file is updated, so why can't I remove the 
code specifying the path in the script? Well, after removing the code the 
path could not be found, therefore string could not be imported.


Environmet is set:
PYTHONPATH=c:\program files\jython;c:\program files\jython\lib

... Path within script is set:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("python.path", "c:\Program Files\Jython;c:\Program 
Files\Jython\lib");
PythonInterpreter.initialize(System.getProperties(), props, new String[] 
{""});

... and line to file registry has been added:
# this is how to specify the path at my computer. Joern
python.path=c:\\program files\\jython;c:\\program files\\jython\\lib


So, what to do next, IOW: What am I doing wrong? It seems to me that the 
Properties could not be found, i.e. jython could not resolve the line 
Properties props = new Properties() - but how?

TIA for any help
