[Jython-users] Package attributes not reachable from Python-derived Java classes

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

Hello,

My problem has evolved to this thread. Let me recapitulate my intent:

To create a Java class using Python code. The Python class subclasses from
a class in some package "edu.umass.cs.ciir.metamorph".

I compile the Python class to a .class file using jythonc with the
package switch. The resultant .java file has the correct package
declaration:

package edu.umass.cs.ciir.metamorph;

at the top of the file.

My Python class tries to access a package-accesible super attribute but
fails. If I make that attribute public it succeeds. This is
unsatisfactory. I'm trying to use someone elses code and I cannot change
the attribute properties.

Can I still use Jython or do I need to abandon this line of approach and
resign myself to having to program in Java directly?
