Importing python modules in jython

Question

I\'m having some issues importing scapy under jython. I\'ve been doing java forever, but python for only a day or two.

The simple case to reproduce the problem is:

Answer 1

You can do the easy_install for jython.

Run:

jython ez_setup.py 

from http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py

Then you will get a easy_install script under your jython/bin go there and

jython easy_install scapy

(or whatever module you need)

Then next time you startup jython you will be able to import it.

Answer 2

Modification from Amala's answer. His code doesn't work for me, but I solved it with something similar. This works instead.

Download ez_setup.py from here http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py

Then run jython ez_setup.py scapy.

Running it on any folder path doesn't matter

Answer 3

You've done the right thing printing sys.path. Now you should go to your python shell, and do this:

$ python
>>> import scapy
>>> print scapy.__file__

This will show where scapy is being imported from. The most likely problem is that your jython sys.path doesn't include the directory containing scapy.
