Woody Anderson commented on PIG-1824: ------------------------------------- ok. i understand your thoughts on static, and mostly i have them too, but the PythonInterpreter is a static member of the Interperter class, and the code i wrote must run BEFORE that interpreter is constructed. Interpeter is a private inner class, so it cannot be caused to load before normal use patterns. So, moving the static block into the static block for Interpreter addresses your concerns. import will not cause the static block to be executed btw, it's the first executed reference to the class. However, i take the point that some code could have been: {code} Class = JythonScriptEngine.class; {code} or something like that to cause the class to be loaded. Still, as i said: Interpreter static block addresses this, and the ctor is out b/c of the static nature of Interpreter.interpreter. on second point: i dont' see the point of a includeResources() method, if it can be done, it can be done in init(), if not it won't be done.
