Jython easy_install error

Question

My purpose to add some python libraries to jython i.e suds package

To do this tried to follow the instruction from http://www.jython.org/jythonbook/en/1.0/appendixA.html#setuptools

and also checked;

How can I install various Python libraries in Jython?

Installed Jython 2.5.2 and added JYTHON_HOME=C:\jyhon252 to environment variables and %JYTHON_HOME%\bin to path jython is working fine.

As second step tried to install easy_install on top of Jython 2.5.2

got ez_setup.py from;

Tried to install ez_setup.py and got following error that I couldnt find any clue how to solve it. same thing happening with Jython 2.5.3 also.

Answer 2

• Remove older versions of java and install jdk7
• Install JYTHON from jar: java -jar jython-installer-2.7-b2.jar
• Set up environment variables:
  • Add to existing PATH: C:\jython2.7b2;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_67\bin
  • Create PYTHON and add: C:\jython2.7b2\Lib\site-packages\;
• Install easy_install
  • Download ez_setup.py
  • Open file and copy paste intall url into browser to download the setuptools-5.7.zip file.
  • Move the zip into the same folder as ez_setup.py.
  • Then run it: jython setup.py install
  • The easy_install will have moved files to your C:\Python27
  • copy all the files from C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages to C:\jython2.7b2\Lib\site-packages
  • copy all the files from C:\Python27\Scripts to C:\jython2.7b2\bin
  • Delete C:\Python27
• Finally, you need to edit all the scripts so that they don't use Python.exe.
  • Change it to: #!C:\jython2.7b2\jython.bat
