  - nose requires the optparse (easy) and the compiler module (sort of easy -- compiler requires the parser module, which isn't easy to get). nose only needs the compiler module to use compiler.consts.CO_GENERATOR, maybe jython could provide a broken compiler module that doesn't import parser.

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)
  • fix for new.instancemethod not allowing a PyType as its class argument (fixed in r4051)
  • fix for inspect.argspec not working (also needed for Pylons, among other things) (fixed in r4053)
  • imp.find_module returned entries in regard to bytecode files instead of .py files when they were available (fixed in r4080)
  • fix type names and class __module__ in doctests (fixed in r4107, 4111)
  • methods weren't always inheriting their inner functions' __name__ and __doc__ (fixed in r4109)
  • 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 jython will provide a broken compiler module that doesn't import parser (added in r4114)
