Calling Python from Java through scripting engine (jython)?

Question

I\'m trying to call Jython from a Java 6 application using javax.script:

import javax.script.ScriptEngine;
import javax.script.ScriptEngineManag         


        

Answer 1

You'd probably have to register a ScriptEngineFactory for'python'

Answer 2

You have to register your engine first.

From: ScriptEngineManager.getEngineByName:

[...] first searches for a ScriptEngineFactory that has been registered as a handle [...] Returns null if no such factory was found

The user guide says to use it with JSR-223 you have to:

As of Jython 2.5.1 an implementation of JSR 223 is bundled in jython.jar. Simply add jython to your CLASSPATH and ask for the python script engine.

Did you do that already?
