Jython 2.2 on Ubuntu

[Neil Wallace]

Hi all,

I am a novice Python/Jython programmer, and Ubuntu user.

Ubuntu still only supports only version 2.1 of Jython. I have used the
GUI installer of Jython 2.2, and installed it to the default
/root/jython2.2 directory. The install went without issues.

However, typing ............jython --version
in a teminal still gives me ........ Jython 2.1 on java (JIT: null)

What else do I need to do?

regards
Neil.

p.s. I posted this to the jython group hosted by sourceforge, but it
bounced. :-(

you need to ensure that the correct jython executable is in a directory
which is on your on your path.

I've just successfully test-subscribed to
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jython-users. Maybe you
could try again.

/root/jython2.2 directory.

You do realize that /root is the home directory of the root user, normally
off-limits to normal users?

Usually if you're installing your own packages, you would put them
in /usr/local or /opt.

Thanks Tim,

I subscribed to the Jython group hosted by sourceforge, and they are a
great bunch of guys/gals.

Here's what I did to fix my problem.

1. removed Jython 2.1 (using Synaptic)jytho
2. added the following lines (as root) to /etc/profile
# set PATH for Jython
PATH=$PATH:/home/neil/jython2.2
export PATH

I had to restart X, that's it solved!!

you can use eclipse + pydev
it is very easy to setup jython or python
