Introduction

This java application generates a JPython/Jython console, i.e. a java window containing an interactive jpython shell. It is modeled after the JPython Console swing demo, but written in 100% java, so that is it easy to embed in java applications and applets. The only documentation available is the code itself. I have begun implementing most of the standard keymaps for history access and command completion. The code is under active development; the latest version has been tested under jython 2.0 only.

Obtaining SPyConsole

The latest version of SPyConsole is available at:

ftp://iee.umces.edu/SME3/JConsole/SPyConsole.zip

Building the Application

If you have ANT installed (http://www.jakarta.apache.org/ant), you can build the project by running ANT in the project directory (the project directory is the directory that contains the build.xml file).

>ant

You can also build the project directly from the command line with the following commands (executed from the project directory, of course):

> mkdir classes

> javac -d classes src\spyconsole\*.java 

To run SPyConsole, ensure that the spyconsole\classes directory is in your CLASSPATH (Jython needs to be in your CLASSPATH also). The type:

> java spyconsole.SPyConsole
