Hi Marc,<br>
About updating from Jython 2.2 to 2.5.1, there is
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugs.jython.org/issue1814">http://bugs.jython.org/issue1814</a>. My comment to that bug was:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">BTW - For Kepler/Ptolemy, I changed calls
like:<br>
<br>
new PyJavaInstance(attribute)<br>
to<br>
PyJavaType.wrapJavaObject(attribute)<br>
<br>
I have no idea if this is correct, but the Ptolemy tests passed.<br>
Adding something to the Jython Wiki would be great.</blockquote>
<br>
As it stands, the PythonScript actor can import Jython code from a
separate file by having the user edit the text widget in the actor.
It would not be that hard to get that import from a PortParameter.
I would not have time to implement anything like that though, I have
deadlines at the end of November. So, it would be fairly easy to
write actors in Jython. <br>
<br>
To me, it sounds like you are proposing porting more of the
PythonActor into Jython. This sees fairly straightforward, but a
bit of a mind bender. Ptolemy II has an execution semantics that
expects that actors implement the Executable interface. Much of the
code expects that TypedCompositeActors contain Actors and the Actors
have methods like preinitialize(), initialize(), fire(), postfire(),
wrapup(). These are all Java interfaces, classes and methods. So,
for your actors to be called, the Java execution engine needs to
have a way to call Java code that then in turn calls the Jython code
that you have written. Thus, I'm not sure if porting more of the
PythonActor into Jython would have a pay off.<br>
<br>
Writing Jython that is read by an actor similar to the PythonScript
actor would seem to be fairly straightforward. The Jython user
writes methods in Jython, Ptolemy runs the PythonScript actor that
reads those methods.<br>
<br>
An alternative would be to embed the Ptolemy II execution engine in
Jython and make calls from Jython to execute a model. Writing
Jython actors would still need something like PythonScript.<br>
<br>
I updated
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://kepler-project.org/developers/reference/python-and-kepler">https://kepler-project.org/developers/reference/python-and-kepler</a>
with a couple of links in the External Resources section that point
to third parties that I believe have interfaced to the C version of
Python using external actors. This is yet another way of doing the
job. I'm resistant to shipping releases with interfaces to C code
because of the complexity in getting JNI or JNA to work on multiple
platforms and 32 or 64 bits. However, interfacing to C code does
have value sometimes.<br>
<br>
Scala looks pretty interesting to me, I've been meaning to look
further into Scala. One side idea I've been thinking of is to
generate Scala from Ptolemy models, but I'm not sure if that is
practical.<br>

a Jython package, or function call, or interface (probably

way I would only develop my Jython script packages and then
integrate these into the newly coded JythonActor through say
a port parameter. Better yet, how about some sort of XML
import solution that would identify the Jython code that
“decorates” the JythonActor’s functionality. I need a good
suggestion on how to do this elegantly such that it looks

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Marc,<br>
I updated Jython to 2.5.2, it was not that hard, updating the
license files took the most time.<br>
<br>
I have a few of misgivings about Jython that might be good
lessons for Ptolemy and Kepler:<br>
<br>
* Sadly, ptII/lib/jython.jar went from about 1Mb to 10Mb.
Does this mean that Jython-2.5.2 is 10 times better than
Jython-2.2.1?<br>
If jython is supposed to be a scripting language, then why is
it so large?<br>
This seems to be a common trend where nice small languages get
more and more features.<br>
As an aside about Perl, see <br>
Is Perl Better Than a Randomly Generated Programming
Language? at<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/11/10/27/213231/is-perl-better-than-a-randomly-generated-programming-language">http://developers.slashdot.org/story/11/10/27/213231/is-perl-better-than-a-randomly-generated-programming-language</a><br>
<br>
For comparison purposes, Ptolemy's ptsupport.jar is 3.5Mb and
a standalone Ptolemy demo including the GUI is 6.5Mb in jars.<br>
<br>
Lesson: we need to keep an eye on code bloat and be able to
deploy small run times.<br>
<br>
* Another issue with Jython-2.5.2 is that because they removed
org.python.core.PyJavaInstance some time after Jython-2.2.1,
they should have released Jython-2.5.2 as Jython-3.x. Most
projects bump up the major version number when there are
incompatibilities.<br>
<br>
Lesson: Ptolemy bumps up the major version number with each
~yearly release. Ptolemy has backward compatibility filters.
We do sometimes remove old code, but only with major versions.<br>
<br>
* The Jython license situation is a mess.<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.jython.org/license.html">http://www.jython.org/license.html</a>
lists these licenses<br>
- The Python Software Foundation License Version 2, which
according to Wikipedia is a BSD-style license<br>
- The Jython-2.0 and 2.1 license, which is similar to a
BSD-style license<br>
- The JPython 1.1.x license, which is similar to BSD-style
license<br>
<br>
The software ships with these licenses in the LICENSE.txt
file.<br>
<br>
However, LICENSE_CPython.txt and LICENSE_Apache.txt are
included. There is no mention as to what code actually uses
those licenses.<br>
LICENSE_CPython.txt includes four copyrights: <br>
- Python Software Foundation License Version 2<br>
- BEOPEN.COM LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR PYTHON 2.0<br>
- CNRI LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR PYTHON 1.6.1<br>
- CWI LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR PYTHON 0.9.0 THROUGH 1.2<br>
The last three look similar to BSD, but have various
requirements.<br>
<br>
I'll submit a bug report to Jython to get them to update their
site.<br>
<br>
Lesson: I'm not sure how Ptolemy and Kepler can avoid a
similar complexity issue. I've been working on updating our
license file and<br>
we have a way to determine what licenses are used by a
particular configuration.<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII8.0/copyright.htm">http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII8.0/copyright.htm</a>
<br>
lists 7 licenses used by Ptiny, a small configuration of
Ptolemy II. One of those 7 is the Jython-2.2.1 license, which
is similar to the Jython-2.5.2 license.<br>
The Kepler configuration of Ptolemy II uses 15 licenses in the
Ptolemy II code.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I need a little help in integrating my
Jython/Python code into the Python actor.<br>
<br>
When I double-click on the Python actor in the
PythonDialogExample, a window with the Python code appears. I
can of course edit the code from within this window. However,
I want to perform my code development and editing from within
my Eclipse environment from my Kepler development build.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don't know that much about Python, but I
believe that you could use the Python import facility to find
imports.<br>
I just added text to the Kepler Jython page about this, see:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://kepler-project.org/developers/reference/python-and-kepler#how-jython-finds-imports">https://kepler-project.org/developers/reference/python-and-kepler#how-jython-finds-imports</a><br>
<br>
Note that I found a few other references on the web, included
what appears to be people who are using the full version of
Python (not Jython) with Kepler.<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I "open the actor", the beginning of
the file has some Javadoc as well as what appear to be some
unmatched XML elements (<p>), along with some matching
XML element tags (</pre>) (does this correspond to some
pre-fire method?).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When you open the actor, you are seeing the
Java code that implements the PythonActor. The <p> tags
are html tags used in the javadoc comments of the Java file.
All of the instances of the PythonActor share the same Java
code, but may have different Python code.<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After this all of the Java code for the
actor follows with the standard initialize(), stop(),
stopFire(), preinitialize(), terminate(), etc, methods.<br>
<br>
I do see in the Java code where there is a PythonScript method
that accepts a CompositeEntity where a script template is
provided where I am supposing a long Python string in the
script.setExpression is defined.<br>
<br>
However, what I would like to do is simply include my Jython
module within my Kepler build and debug my Jython code in
connection with my overall workflow.<br>
<br>
Can someone tell me how to go about achieving this objective?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It looks like Jython uses sys.path to find
imports. I included a Ptolemy II model that opens in the
devel version of Kepler that lists the contents of sys.path.
For further information about sys.path, see<br>
