''' Tests '''
 As part of building the project, Jython will generate an executable script, `dist/bin/jython`, to make it easy to launch your build of Jython. This works if you're on a Unix-like platform (including Mac OS X and Cygwin).

If you're using Windows without Cygwin, here's a batch file that runs the built `jython.jar`:
[[Anchor(sampleBatch)]]
{{{
:: jytip.bat
@echo off
set ARGS=

:: concatenate all the command line args into one
:loop
if [%1] == [] goto end
        set ARGS=%ARGS% %1
        shift
        goto loop
:end

:: this is mine...
:: java -Dpython.home=C:\\workspace\\JythonTip\\jython\\dist -jar
::<cont> c:\workspace\JythonTip\jython\dist\jython.jar %ARGS%
:: fill in <placeholders> below:
java -Dpython.home=<path to dist directory>\\dist -jar <path to dist directory>\dist\jython.jar %ARGS%
}}}
If you're using Windows without Cygwin, use the batch file `dist/bin/jython.bat` instead.

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!

Subversion

Ant

  • [http://ant.apache.org/ Ant] is a Java-based tool used to build Jython from source.

  • Eclipse users, see [wiki:/EclipseNotes Eclipse Ant notes]

  • Download the latest version 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

  • Demo : demo sources for the website and such

  • Doc : the website documentation (see /WebsiteBuilderSetup to build the http://jython.org website)

  • Lib : the python source files for Jython standard library implementations

  • Lib/test : test cases

  • Misc : random scripts which are not all used; some generate source

  • Tools : JythonC and Freeze

  • CPythonLib : Lib directory from the corresponding version of cpython, via svn:externals

  • bugtests : additional test cases covering bug reports
