[Jython-users] importing python modules from a jar file

[Ted B. <te...@et...>]

I have a java application that makes use of jython as a scripting engine.  I 
want to allow the end user to extend the functionality I provide by 
dynamically loading module ( java or python ) at runtime.  The java stuff is 
working fine, but i'm running into a problem with the embedded python.

runtime sys.path looks like this:
['.', 
'/home/tedberg/.javaws/cache/http/Djopenrpg.sourceforge.net/P80/DMfiles/RMjopenrpg.jar!Lib', 
'/home/tedberg/.javaws/cache/http/Djopenrpg.sourceforge.net/P80/DMfiles/RMjopenrpg.jar!scripts', 
'/home/tedberg/jopenrpg']

I can import python modules in the directories "Lib" and "scripts" that are 
in the jar.  What I *cannot* do, and *need* to do, is import modules in 
"!scripts/pyhandlers".

I have tried:
from scripts import pyhandlers
import scripts.pyhandlers
import pyhandlers

all of which return a "no module named" referencing scripts and pyhandlers 
respectively.

Also:
I can do a  "import nodehandlers" ( nodehandlers is a dir in 
/home/tedberg/jopenrpg ), but I cannot import any modules *within* that 
directory.l

What *am* I doing wrong?
