RE: [Jython-dev] proposal: making jython.jar executable

I'd like this very much.

It would also be very nice if the standard
python libraries could be included in the 
jar and accessible when you run jython -jar.

Subject: [Jython-dev] proposal: making jython.jar executable


Does anyone have objections to making jython.jar an executable jar?  It
requires a specialized manifest file which the enclosed patch to
build.xml creates.  This would mean one could start jython with:

 java -jar jython.jar

The existing batch files or shell scripts would continue to work just
fine.  I am proposing this because a couple people have asked recently.

thanks,

brian
