           Summary: Need to add PTII Python actors back into Kepler
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 1.0.0beta2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: actors
        AssignedTo: berkley at nceas.ucsb.edu

Ptolemy has 2 different actors that allow one to use Python scripts. These were
removed from Kepler when all the actors were instantiated at startup because
they greatlyt slowed down startup (by scanning all the jar files).

Several Kepler users have asked about using Python scripts in Kepler. Now that
all actors are not instantiated at startup, the Python actors can be put back
into Kepler, giving an additional scripting capability.
