How to setup springpython with Jython and Eclipse/PyDev?

Question

I'm having trouble setting up SpringPython with PyDev and Jython

I've installed Spring python by:

jython setup.py install

and the setup installed the library to my jython installation successfully.

See!:

In my PyDev project i've selected the jython interpreter and have c:\jython2.5.1\Lib\site-packages in my Library paths:

My eclipse environment fails to resolve the new classes:

What else do I need to do to install this baby?

Perhaps I should just be using the Java version of spring...

Thanks SO!

Answer 1

The python interpreter that is used to compile your Python files is specified by PyDev on the project level. I suspect that while you do have Jython installed, your Eclipse project (katas) still uses CPython.

Perform the following steps to fix this:

• Open your project properties: right-click your project folder ("katas") and select properties
• Select tab "PyDev - Interpreter/Grammar"
• Switch Python to "Jython"

Your files should now be compiled correctly using Jython.

As noted by the asker himself, you may need to restart your editor (or the Eclipse itself).

Answer 2

Turns out that I just needed to restart eclipse, there you go.
