[Jython-dev] Import fails on imedded Jython interpreter

[Frank C. <fc...@pu...>]

Hi all: Thanks so much for all the hard work being done on Jython. I think
Jython is a terrific project.

I am embedding Jython into the next version of PushToTest Load - a framework
for writing intelligent test agents to test Web services for scalability and
performance. Details are at: http://www.pushtotest.com/ptt/wiki/LoadPreview

Load will be implemented as a NetBeans module (http://www.netbeans.org.) The
module instantiates an instance of Jython and passes it a script to run.
Here's the code I'm using:

        PythonInterpreter interp = new PythonInterpreter();

        try
        {
            interp.execfile( FileUtil.toFile(theScriptFile).getPath() );
        }
        catch ( PyException e )
        {
            System.out.println( "1=" + e.fillInStackTrace() );
            System.out.println( "2=" + e.getLocalizedMessage() );
            System.out.println( "3=" + e.getMessage() );
            System.out.println( "e.traceback.tb_lineno = " +
e.traceback.tb_lineno );
            System.out.println( "e.traceback.tb_frame = " +
e.traceback.tb_frame );
            System.out.println( "e.traceback.tb_next = " +
e.traceback.tb_next );

        }

This works well except for importing Jython libraries. When I run this
script:

import random
print "Hi its me here at test.py"
i=10
print i
print random.random()

I get this exception:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: no module named random

The classpath is pointed to the jython.jar file.

Does anyone have a direction to point me in to figure this out?
