Constructor Detail

### PythonInterpreter

    public PythonInterpreter()

  Create a new Interpreter with an empty dictionary

### PythonInterpreter

    public PythonInterpreter(PyObject dict)

  Create a new interpreter with the given dictionary to use as its namespace

Parameters:
  `dict` - the dictionary to use

### PythonInterpreter

    public PythonInterpreter(PyObject dict,
                             PySystemState systemState)

Method Detail

### initialize

    public static void initialize(java.util.Properties preProperties,
                                  java.util.Properties postProperties,
                                  java.lang.String[] argv)

  Initialize the jython runtime. This method should only be called once, and should be call before any other python objects are created (included a PythonInterpreter).

  Parameters:
    `preProperties` - A set of properties. Typically System.getProperties() is used.
    `postProperties` - An other set of properties. Values like python.home, python.path and all other values from the registry files can be added to this property set. PostProperties will override system properties and registry properties.
    `argv` - Command line argument. These values will assigned to sys.argv.

### setOut

    public void setOut(PyObject outStream)

  Set the Python object to use for the standard output stream

  Parameters:
    `outStream` - Python file-like object to use as output stream

### setOut

    public void setOut(java.io.Writer outStream)

  Set a java.io.Writer to use for the standard output stream

  Parameters:
    `outStream` - Writer to use as output stream

### setOut

    public void setOut(java.io.OutputStream outStream)

  Set a java.io.OutputStream to use for the standard output stream

  Parameters:
    `outStream` - OutputStream to use as output stream

### setErr

    public void setErr(PyObject outStream)

### setErr

    public void setErr(java.io.Writer outStream)

### setErr

    public void setErr(java.io.OutputStream outStream)

### eval

    public PyObject eval(java.lang.String s)

  Evaluate a string as Python source and return the result

  Parameters:
    `s` - the string to evaluate

### exec

    public void exec(java.lang.String s)

  Execute a string of Python source in the local namespace

  Parameters:
    `s` - the string to execute

### exec

    public void exec(PyObject code)

  Execute a Python code object in the local namespace

  Parameters:
    `code` - the code object to execute

### execfile

    public void execfile(java.lang.String s)

  Execute a file of Python source in the local namespace

  Parameters:
    `s` - the name of the file to execute

### execfile

    public void execfile(java.io.InputStream s)

### execfile

    public void execfile(java.io.InputStream s,
                         java.lang.String name)

### getLocals

    public PyObject getLocals()

### setLocals

    public void setLocals(PyObject d)

### set

    public void set(java.lang.String name,
                    java.lang.Object value)

  Set a variable in the local namespace

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the variable
    `value` - the value to set the variable to. Will be automatically converted to an appropriate Python object.

### set

    public void set(java.lang.String name,
                    PyObject value)

  Set a variable in the local namespace

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the variable
    `value` - the value to set the variable to

### get

    public PyObject get(java.lang.String name)

  Get the value of a variable in the local namespace

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the variable

### get

    public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String name,
                                java.lang.Class javaclass)

  Get the value of a variable in the local namespace Value will be returned as an instance of the given Java class. `interp.get("foo", Object.class)` will return the most appropriate generic Java object.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the variable
