net.loadbang.jython

Python

We use the Jython interpreter, which allows Python and Java to interact, and gives Python access to the standard Java libraries (as well as any other Java code available to MXJ).

Installation

Download this ZIP file: /download/net.loadbang.jython-1.1-20080315.zip. This archive contains instructions, plus the required JAR files, examples, javadocs and sources. The javadocs are also available online here.

(The Jython and Groovy packages use a lot of the same machinery, documented here.)

Release Numbering

All releases have two parts to their version: an actual version number, and a date. The version number changes if the core Java code is changed; the date changes if the Java code changes, or if there are any changes to example code or 3rd-party libraries.
