[Jython-users] Embedding Help?

[<gre...@ne...>]

Can anyone help me with an embedding question?  I have an interface
that I need to implement.  When my method is called, I want to run an
interactive interpreter (that part works fine) and be able to access
some variables easily from within modules (I can't figure out how to
do this).

Here is the code I have:

public class PythonDoclet implements Doclet {

    public static File outputDir;
    public static Map classesByName;
    public static List nodes;
    public static List loaders;

    public void generateDocumentation(File outputDir,
                                      Map classesByName,
                                      List nodes,
                                      List loaders) 
    {
        

        InteractiveConsole interpreter = new InteractiveConsole();

        PythonDoclet.outputDir     = outputDir;
        PythonDoclet.classesByName = classesByName;
        PythonDoclet.nodes         = nodes;
        PythonDoclet.loaders       = loaders;

        interpreter.interact();

    }
}

When the interpreter starts up, I can access
PythonDoclet.outputDir (for instance) in the console and that
works great.  What I can't figure out is how to write a module that
can access the same attribute.

I have a module that looks like:


import PythonDoclet
print outputDir

when I import it from the interactive console, I get this error:

>>> import toXml
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
  File "d:\home\greg\projects\dig\users\greg\ogredoc2docbook\.\toXml.py", line 4
, in ?
NameError: outputDir

It seems odd to me that I can access outputDir just fine when typing
in the console, but not from a module.

Any tips would be appreciated.
