[kepler-dev] [kepler-users] Missing python modules when using the Python Actor

[Tristan King]

Is there any reason (licensing or otherwise) why the entirety of jython
isn't shipped with kepler?I can understand reasoning into not making it easy
to hook up a local install of jython, since different versions of jython
could cause different behaviour in kepler, but it would be easy to set up
kepler to use a local jython environment which includes all the standard
site-packages (jython without the Lib/ directory leaves a quite limited
subset of python. kinda like trying to program anything in Java without
being able to import anything).

I've set up my build.xml to use the $JYTHON_HOME env variable to find the
jython installation (defaulting to $KEPLER/lib/jar/ if $JYTHON_HOME isn't
set). I would check this in, but I think it would be better if jython was
simply shipped with kepler. However, if there is a consensus that the
ability to specify the jython install should be made available i will
happily check in my build.xml.
