Re: [Jython-users] CGI scripts

[Kevin B. <kb...@ca...>]

At a guess, I'd say you're using a version of Jython older than 2.1.

Versions before 2.1 had no support for environment variables, which are pretty necessary for the cgi module...
(and getting environment variables in Jython is just one more performance problem for the jython choice, but that's another story...  :-) )

try 'jython cgi.py' in the jython/Lib directory, and look for the Shell Environment section.  If it is empty, your jython version is too old, and you need to grab the new one from www.jython.org when SourceForge gets the files back up.

If you are using 2.1, there is evidently another requirement for the cgi module to work.  :-(
