Getting Started¶

Download¶

Download jython_installer-*.jar from http://www.jython.org/.

Double click the jar… or:

java -jar jython_installer-2.5.2.jar

or… to start the console installer:

java -jar jython_installer-2.2.jar --console

I installed to:

# linux:
~/bin/jython2.5.2/

# Windows
C:\tools\jython2.2\

To start the jython console:

~/bin/jython2.5.2/jython

Or:

java -jar jython.jar

…if this won’t work, you could use the following bash script:

#!/bin/bash
CLASSPATH="."
CLASSPATH=":$CLASSPATH:jython21.jar"
java -cp $CLASSPATH org.python.util.jython

To run a script:

java -jar jython.jar script.py
