Hi Marco,

Yes, you should be able to use them without too much problem.

To use it, you'd have to do something like:

File[] dir = new File[]{scriptLocation}
IPythonInterpreter interpreter = JythonPlugin.newPythonInterpreter();
JythonPlugin.execAll(locals, "foo", interpreter, dir); //execute all the
files that start with 'foo' that are located beneath the selected dir

You'd pass whatever you like as the locals (and use those variables in the
script). In pydev I pass as locals the PyEditor and the command requested
(such as initializing the editor, saving a file, closing, etc), so, when the
editor is initalized, actions can be registered, etc.

Cheers,

Fabio
