[Jython-users] jython with xml

[Michael C. <mc...@de...>]

Hoping someone can help:

I wrote a quick prototype in cpython for my project; but now I'd like to 
compile with jython and run under java. My program uses some things from 
the xml package. At first, I was worried that it wouldn't be possible 
(no parser), but as I was reading xml.sax.__init__.py, I saw that it has 
special casing for the java environment.

1) Can I run something using the xml parser under jython?

2) If so, then what am I doing wrong? I have been setting sys.path to 
include my python 'libs' directory, then importing my package. I get an 
exception:
   File "C:\Applications\Python21\lib\xml\sax\__init__.py", line 88, in 
make_parser
   SAXReaderNotAvailable: No parsers found

This looks bad, but the special-case code must be there for some reason.

Anyone able to help?
