python as script language

Peter Verkaik

Jon,
I did a search for python and came up with this
Java Embedded Python 1.0
http://today.java.net/pub/n/2075
which looks promising.

The jep.java file included in the downloadable source
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=109839&package_id=118670&release_id=289687

only imports java.io.File
This is not available for the Javelin but I do have a filesytem
class so that should be not a problem. Have to look into that.
The other python for java, JPython or Jython, are way too
complex as they are for PC java.

regards peter

You know, Peter, I was just joking -- sort of, but I thought it was very cool that you had created a BASIC interpreter for the Javelin. I thought that you might have an awareness of Python as it was created in your homeland.

Merry Christmas from Texas!

I didin't know it originated in Holland.

But it would be nice to have, at least at the grammar level,

different languages. Could I use for () {} to mimic c,

which I find more readable than basic. Have yet to find

a compact source (in c or java) that I can port.

But since it is not a high priority issue I will stick to

the basic for now.

Thanks for your thoughts.
