Re: [Jython-users] How to call super class attributes in Python-derived Java classes

[Andres Corrada-E. <co...@ci...>]

Hi Robert,

The files I'm using can be seen at:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/Jython-users/819819

I've gone further and confirmed that if my Foo.java code makes the
attribute public, everything works fine. This seems to contradict the
Java transparency claim for Jython also:

-I can write Java classes that use Foo.java and they can access Foo's
attributes without having to make those attributes public.
-A python class can only access explicitly public attributes.

The problem with calling java.util.Random's initializer was solved by a
posting made by Finn. This thread is about my next step: getting a Python
class to access package variables. To simplify the problem, I have come up
with the simple files shown in the URL above.

Thanks for your help on this.
