jython - Python seamlessly integrated with Java

       This  manual page was prepared by Ben Burton <bab@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be
       used by others).  It is based upon the official Jython documentation.

                                                  July 7, 2001                                         JYTHON(1)

Jython  is  an  implementation  of  the  high-level,  dynamic, object-oriented language Python seamlessly
       integrated with the Java platform.  The predecessor to Jython, JPython, is certified as 100% Pure Java.

       Jython is complementary to Java and is especially suited for the following tasks:

       Embeddedscripting:
              Java programmers can add the Jython libraries to their system to allow end users to  write  simple
              or complicated scripts that add functionality to the application.

       Interactiveexperimentation:
              Jython provides an interactive interpreter that can be used to interact with Java packages or with
              running  Java  applications.  This allows programmers to experiment with and debug any Java system
              using Jython.

       Rapidapplicationdevelopment:
              Python programs are typically 2-10X shorter than the equivalent  Java  program.   This  translates
              directly  to  increased programmer productivity.  The seamless interaction between Python and Java
              allows developers to freely mix  the  two  languages  both  during  development  and  in  shipping
              products.

       To make a jython script executable on your system you can add the following line to the top of the file:

              #!/usr/bin/envjython

       You  will also need to add execute permissions to the script using chmod(1).  Note that #!/usr/bin/jython
       will not work; you must use #!/usr/bin/envjython.  This is because /usr/bin/jython is a  script  itself,
       not a compiled binary.

       JAVA (default: /usr/bin/java)
              The Java interpreter to use when running Jython.

       JAVA_OPTIONS (default: empty)
              Options to pass to the Java interpreter when running Jython.

       A summary of options is included below.

       -i     Continue  running  Jython  interactively after running the given script, and force prompts even if
              standard input doesn't appear to be a terminal.

       -S     Don't imply importsite on initialisation.

       -v     Trace import statements on error output.

       -Dproperty=value
              Set the Jython property property to value; see jython.conf(5) for details of available properties.

       -Wargument
              Warning control. The full form of argument is action:message:category:module:line.  Trailing empty
              fields may be omitted. Multiple -W options may be given.  See documentation of the warnings module
              for details.

       -Ecodec
              Set the encoding used to read module source files from disk.

       -Qargument
              Division control. See PEP 239 for details. Valid arguments are old, new, warn and warnall.

       -jarjar
              The program to run is read from the file __run__.py in the specified jar archive.

       -ccmd The program to run is passed as the cmd string.  This option terminates the options list.

       file   The program to run is the script file.

       -      The program to run is read from standard input (default behaviour).  Interactive mode is  used  if
              running  on  a  tty.   This  flag  allows  you  to  pipe a file into Jython and have it be treated
              correctly.

       script-args
              Command-line arguments to pass to the Jython script in sys.argv[1:].

       --help Print a usage message and exit.

       --version
              Print the Jython version number and exit.

jythonc(1), jython.conf(5).

       If the Debian package jython-doc is installed,  full  documentation  from  the  Jython  authors  will  be
       available in /usr/share/doc/jython-doc/html/.
