The jython Interpreter
The jython interpreter built during installation (see Installing Jython) is run similarly to the python program:
[path]jython {options} [ -j jar | -c command | file | - ] {arguments}
-j jar
tells jython that the main script to run is _ _run_ _.py in the .jar file. Options -i, -S, and -v are the same as for python. --help is like python’s -h, and --version is like python’s --V. Instead of environment variables, jython uses a text file named registry in the installation directory to record properties with structured names. Property python.path
, for example, is the Jython equivalent of Python’s environment variable PYTHONPATH
. You can also set properties with jython command-line options in the form -D name
=
value
.
