Re: [Py4j-users] Error when accessing jvm for basic sample (take 2)

Hi Barthelemy,

Yes, that did the trick! With the firewall enabled even.

The actual context is that I'm writing a java plugin to create a python scripting api for the main app.  I open up the gateway in java and launch the python script in a subprocess, and the script can then make api calls through the gateway. So both sides are always on the same host.

The main app is a dlna server itself (http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/) and when serving multiple dlna clients concurrently will need to run separate py4j instances on different sockets.  Is there any gateway discovery magic in the forthcoming py4j that can sort this out automatically, or do I need to pass address:port to python in each instance (which actually wouldn't be hard since it's a subprocess and I can set environment variables).

Thanks, using py4j has been very smooth sailing apart from this tiny bump in windows.
