jython setup in Eclipse/PyCharm

Question

Using Python 2.7 on Mac, and IDE is PyCharm. Need to use some Java functions inside Python script, and prefer to use import of Python, for example from com.abc import fooFunc , so that I can use fooFunc in Python script as a Python function. The Java functions are defined in goo.jar .

My question is, where should I place the goo.jar file, so that Python/PyCharm could find the jar file?

Edit 1 , add screen snapshot for PyDev for Jython project,

Edit 2 , add screen snapshot for auto-config error message,

Edit 3 , cannot select installed jython interpreter from Eclipse,

Edit 4 , can only select .jar file when configuring jython interpreter,

Edit 5 , program runs ok but with red alert error messages from console,

Answer 1

Follow up on the comments above, yes if you are using pydev for Eclipse, then that's just the plugin that allows for writing python code with Eclipse. To install Jython, there are a number of guides out there, but it boils down to a two step process:

1. Download and install Jython. The installation process will usually tell you where Jython is installed
2. Next Configure your IDE to include the location of jython. As the JetBrains family of IDE's are very much the same, the way I added Jython to IntelliJ was File > Project Structure > SDK > + > Python SDK > Navigate to the Jython Binary

Also take some time to peruse the Jython Book .
