Pylons (0.9.6.1) on Jython Requirements/TODO

Installing Pylons and its dependencies

  • distutils and setuptools (Mostly finished, See SetuptoolsOnJython )
  • Ensure all dependencies' tests pass

nose

Pylons projects require nose, but most packages (including Pylons) use nose as their own test runners.

requires:

  • optparse module (added in r4018)
  • a fix for the cell variable (variables used in closures) bug here: http://pylonshq.com/pasties/667 (fixed in r4038)
  • compiler package (and compiler requires the parser module which Jython lacks). nose only needs the compiler module to use compiler.consts.CO_GENERATOR; until there's a parser, maybe jython could provide a broken compiler module that doesn't import parser

Routes

Pretty much all tests pass: though some tests require Paste's paste.fixture, which is troublesome to import

Paste, PasteDeploy and PasteScript

requires:

  • modulefinder module (imported in paste/__init__.py). Jython currently lacks it, and modulefinder relies on reading code objects via marshal.load
  • subprocess module: if it doesn't exist (Python 2.3) it uses a version copied over from CPython 2.4 (paste.util.subprocess24). paste.util.subprocess24 dies on attempting to import fcntl, so Jython needs to provide subprocess
  • webbrowser module: paste.fixture imports it. Jython doesn't include it. It's a pretty simple module -- though it doesn't seem to work right on Jython when launching a console browser (like lynx or links). I think it's an os.system problem
