[Jython-dev] How to make apps that expect Python work with Jython?

[Updike, C. <Cla...@jh...>]

Does anyone know a way to make applications that expect a working Python
installation instead work with a Jython installation (on windows)?

I put a python.bat file that directs to Jython so that the following works
fine:

C:\>python HelloWorld.py

I suspect that there are Windows registry settings involved, and that
regsetup.py (part of the Python windows install) might possibly be hacked to
fake out applications, but I'm not sure how to do it.  Incidentally, I'm
trying to run WinCVS which expects Python.  Yes, worst case I could install
Python.  But that doesn't make sense if you have to do it for every Jython
and WinCVS user you have to administer.

TIA,
