This is an introduction to developing Jython, just to get someone started. It doesn't cover the source code in any depth or discuss the design behind Jython. It's purely aimed at getting a development environment set up. It's definitely not complete so feel free to make it better!

<introductionary bla bla ...>   * Check out a copy of the Jython source with [[http://subversion.tigris.org/|Subversion]], available on most *nix systems or with Cygwin on Windows.
  * You can use the command line tool `svn`, or [[http://subversion.tigris.org/links.html#clients|GUI clients are available]] on most platforms.
  * !NetBeans, Eclipse and other Java IDEs also integrate Subversion support. Eclipse users should see JythonDeveloperGuide/EclipseNotes.
  * Browse the source code on the Web at http://fisheye3.cenqua.com/browse/jython.
  * To obtain the a copy of the ''current development'' source, check out trunk:
    {{{ svn co https://jython.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jython/trunk/jython/ }}}

[[Navigation(children)]] == Ant ==

  * [[http://ant.apache.org/|Ant]] is a Java-based tool used to build Jython from source.
  * Eclipse users, see [[/EclipseNotes#ANT|Eclipse Ant notes]]
  * Download the latest version (Jython requires Ant 1.7 or later to build) and install it so Ant's `bin` directory is somewhere in your path.
  * To build Jython, run `ant` in the top-level Jython directory (which contains the Ant file `build.xml`).
  * The results of the build appear in the `dist` subdirectory.

== Tests ==
The Jython build process generates an executable Bash script, `dist/bin/jython`, to make it easy to launch your build of Jython. It works on Unix-like platforms (including Mac OS X and Cygwin).

If you're using Windows without Cygwin, use the batch file `dist/bin/jython.bat` instead.

Now you're ready to run tests...

  * There are a couple different places to find test cases
    * Jython's `dist/Lib/test` (populated by the build process)
    * Jython's `bugtests` subdirectory (included with the development sources)
  * Run a particular test, or the whole Python test suite with `ant regrtest`.

See TestingJython for some more details.

== Directory layout ==
Note the following describes the current trunk/jython. If you are working from an older tag, src doesn't exist and src/com and src/org are moved up a level.

  * `src/org` : top level package for python
  * `src/com` : zxJDBC related sources
  * `src/shell` : launcher scripts
  * `src/templates`: java source generator & related templates, used to update portions of java classes elsewhere in the source tree

Subversion

Ant

  • Ant is a Java-based tool used to build Jython from source.

  • Eclipse users, see Eclipse Ant notes

  • Download the latest version (Jython requires Ant 1.7 or later to build) and install it so Ant's bin directory is somewhere in your path.

  • To build Jython, run ant in the top-level Jython directory (which contains the Ant file build.xml).

  • The results of the build appear in the dist subdirectory.

Tests

The Jython build process generates an executable Bash script, dist/bin/jython, to make it easy to launch your build of Jython. It works on Unix-like platforms (including Mac OS X and Cygwin).

If you're using Windows without Cygwin, use the batch file dist/bin/jython.bat instead.

Now you're ready to run tests...

  • There are a couple different places to find test cases
    • Jython's dist/Lib/test (populated by the build process)

    • Jython's bugtests subdirectory (included with the development sources)

  • Run a particular test, or the whole Python test suite with ant regrtest.

See TestingJython for some more details.

Directory layout

Note the following describes the current trunk/jython. If you are working from an older tag, src doesn't exist and src/com and src/org are moved up a level.

  • src/org : top level package for python

  • src/com : zxJDBC related sources
