Constructor Detail

PythonInterpreter

public PythonInterpreter()

Create a new Interpreter with an empty dictionary

PythonInterpreter

public PythonInterpreter(PyObject dict)

Create a new interpreter with the given dictionary to use as its namespace

Parameters:

dict - the dictionary to use

PythonInterpreter

public PythonInterpreter(PyObject dict,
                         PySystemState systemState)

Method Detail

initialize

public static void initialize(java.util.Properties preProperties,
                              java.util.Properties postProperties,
                              java.lang.String[] argv)

Initialize the jython runtime. This method should only be called once, and should be call before any other python objects are created (included a PythonInterpreter).

Parameters:

preProperties - A set of properties. Typically System.getProperties() is used.

postProperties - An other set of properties. Values like python.home, python.path and all other values from the registry files can be added to this property set. PostProperties will override system properties and registry properties.

argv - Command line argument. These values will assigned to sys.argv.

setOut

public void setOut(PyObject outStream)

Set the Python object to use for the standard output stream

Parameters:

outStream - Python file-like object to use as output stream

setOut

public void setOut(java.io.Writer outStream)

Set a java.io.Writer to use for the standard output stream

Parameters:

outStream - Writer to use as output stream

setOut

public void setOut(java.io.OutputStream outStream)

Set a java.io.OutputStream to use for the standard output stream

Parameters:

outStream - OutputStream to use as output stream

setErr

public void setErr(PyObject outStream)

setErr

public void setErr(java.io.Writer outStream)

setErr

public void setErr(java.io.OutputStream outStream)

eval

public PyObject eval(java.lang.String s)

Evaluate a string as Python source and return the result

Parameters:

s - the string to evaluate

exec

public void exec(java.lang.String s)

Execute a string of Python source in the local namespace

Parameters:

s - the string to execute

exec

public void exec(PyObject code)

Execute a Python code object in the local namespace

Parameters:

code - the code object to execute

execfile

public void execfile(java.lang.String s)

Execute a file of Python source in the local namespace

Parameters:

s - the name of the file to execute

execfile

public void execfile(java.io.InputStream s)

execfile

public void execfile(java.io.InputStream s,
                     java.lang.String name)

getLocals

public PyObject getLocals()

setLocals

public void setLocals(PyObject d)

set

public void set(java.lang.String name,
                java.lang.Object value)

Set a variable in the local namespace

Parameters:

name - the name of the variable

value - the value to set the variable to. Will be automatically converted to an appropriate Python object.

set

public void set(java.lang.String name,
                PyObject value)

Set a variable in the local namespace

Parameters:

name - the name of the variable

value - the value to set the variable to

get

public PyObject get(java.lang.String name)

Get the value of a variable in the local namespace

Parameters:

name - the name of the variable

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String name,
                            java.lang.Class javaclass)

Get the value of a variable in the local namespace Value will be returned as an instance of the given Java class. interp.get("foo", Object.class) will return the most appropriate generic Java object.

Parameters:

name - the name of the variable

javaclass - the class of object to return

cleanup

public void cleanup()
