PythonInterpreter.initialize

Hello,

We're working on a project using Java and Python. While executing PyInterpreter.initialize() we encountered some problems.
The code we are using looks like this:

import java.util.*;
import org.python.util.*;
import org.python.core.*;

public class SimpleEmbedded {
public static void main(String []args) throws PyException {
PythonInterpreter interp;

Properties props=new Properties();
props.setProperty("python.path","/home/kdg/jython-2.1/Lib");
PythonInterpreter.initialize(System.getProperties(),props,args);
interp = new PythonInterpreter();
}
}

This code generates the following error-message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.python.core.PyJavaClass.lookup(PyJavaClass.java:43)
at org.python.core.PyObject.<init>(PyObject.java:46)
at org.python.core.PySingleton.<init>(PySingleton.java:8)
at org.python.core.PyNone.<init>(PyNone.java:10)
at org.python.core.PySystemState.initStaticFields(PySystemState.java:396)

at org.python.core.PySystemState.initialize(PySystemState.java:348)
at org.python.util.PythonInterpreter.initialize(PythonInterpreter.java:40)
at SimpleEmbedded.main(SimpleEmbedded.java:16)

Can anyone help us ?
Thanks,

by Java and Python do you mean Jython? You might have more luck in the Java forum with this one even if you are working with Pythons Core i dout many people here (me included) are qualifide to answer your question

If you like i can try moveing your thread for you?

Mark.

Indeed, we do mean Jython.

Can you please move our thread to the appropriate location?

Thanks

Ok i've moves the tread to the Java forum, but there IS still a pointer to this thread in the Python forum so anyone who might be able to help can still see it!

Good luck with the project,

Mark.

I've never used Jython, but this post suggests you make sure jython.jar is included in your classpath.

Jython is an implementation of the Python programming language in pure Java... mmmm ok... not gonna mean anything to most of you since well you're into Java not python but..
