Jython ============= Jython is a Python Interpreter written completely in Java. There are 2 ways to execute TimingAnalyzer Python scripts. * Select the script file from the script dialog window that is displayed when you select the File Menu -> Script. * From a dos command line window if you run the Windows OS, or from a shell command line window if you run a Linux or Unix OS. Using the Script File Dialog from the TimingAnalyzer program. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * Start the TimingAnalyzer * File Menu -> Script or Ctrl T. This brings up the Script selector dialog window. * Select the script, dff.py, then click the execute button. The interpreter is started, then both the os and sys modules are imported, then the script is executed. Using the Command Line ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * Change directory to the install directory of the program. * Start Jython. * Start the application * Execute scripts The listing below shows that I started Jython in the install directory :: Directory of C:\Apps\TimingAnalyzer_b9894 08/17/2009 07:59 PM . 08/17/2009 07:59 PM .. 08/07/2009 11:40 AM examples 08/07/2009 11:40 AM jlib 08/07/2009 11:40 AM scripts 07/19/2009 10:53 PM 1,107 start_app.py 08/07/2009 11:34 AM 536,901 TimingAnalyzer.jar 2 File(s) 538,008 bytes 12 Dir(s) 41,963,491,328 bytes free C:\Apps\TimingAnalyzer_b9894>java -jar jlib\jython.jar Jython ...
