[Jython-users] Can we add a FAQ entry for editing jython in emacs?

[Danny Y. <dy...@hk...>]

Hi everyone,


I'd like to submit an entry to the Jython FAQ:


---

"How do I get emacs's python-mode to use Jython as its interpreter?"

---

python-mode.el assumes that it's working with 'jpython', not 'jython', so
we need to make a small variable change to make it use the correct
interpreter.

We can add the following to .emacs:

    (setq py-jpython-command "jython")

Once this setting is in effect, we can switch between CPython and JPython
mode by pressing C-c C-t.
