[Jython-users] Jython as an interpreter in a distrubuted environment

[Guy Gascoigne-P. <gg...@tr...>]

I've been mulling over this problem and I was wondering if any of you have
an opinion about it.
 
I'm investigating using jython to implement the extension language for part
of our distributed product.  So far this is looking really very promising.
My puzzle at this point is o how best to get a possibly user defined set of
modules and scripts available to a remotely executing instance of jython.  I
really don't want to go the route of having to force copying the files to a
share and allowing the user to setup the python-path on each box to load
them from the right place.
 
Ideally I'd just point python-path to a directory url and have it just work,
right now it doesn't.  But I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this
before I dive into changing any of the jython code.  I'd much rather not
have a separate branch.
