Hi Kent, Too complicated example :-). Jythonc works just fine to create a regular jar file that you can reference in your jnlp file. Ravi Teja. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Assuming the user has Java installed, the app can be launched just by clicking a link on a web page. The jar files are cached locally so they are only downloaded once, the user can make desktop and Start menu shortcuts for the app, and you can update users automatically by deploying new jars to the web server. It's pretty nice and largely trouble-free. Kent -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You can do this with Jython and JWS. Write your app in Jython, deploy with JWS, be happy, go home early ;) I have some notes about it here: http://personalpages.tds.net/~kent37/Python/JythonWebStart.html Kent -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Is there an equivalent to Java Webstart in Python?
No! Jython does not have any of the problems you describe. Jython makes Java byte code. Java bytecode can be deployed via Web Start. Period. Jython can be used anywhere Java can be used. That's the whole beauty of Jython. I am not hypothesizing. I actually did this a while ago and it worked just fine. Why shouldn't it? There is a released version of IronPython at http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=ad7acff7-ab1e-4bcb-99c0-57ac5a3a9742 In fact it's being released every 2-4 weeks for quite a while now. True, IronPython is not quite there yet, but it works for most part. .NET 2.0 One Click Deployment should work with the generated executable. I have not tried this myself. Both Jython and Web Start are definitely more mature at the moment. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I would think it would be pretty easy to write a simple script that would take an application from a zip file, expand it to a temporary directory and run it with Python. Then all you have to do is give the zip files a custom extension (maybe .par, for Python archive?) and associate that extension with your script on the users' machines. But if you're asking if something like this is included with Python out of the box, then the answer is not as far as I know, sorry. -- David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Is there an equivalent to Java Webstart in Python?
The idea is that I don't want to have the user installing anything in his machine. The only thing he/she may install is the virtual machine. THis way I can modify the application as necessary without the need to redeploy on each and one of the installed machines.

What use is Java WebStart, exactly? Just make a .exe installer with everything (for windows), using for example py2exe and InnoSetup, and a distutils compliant package for the others. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Is there an equivalent to Java Webstart in Python?
The problem with Jython is that I can only live inside the aplet virtual machine, I need a full features application with access to the local computer resources. Regarding IronPyhton, there is no released version yet. I am looking for something that can be used now and plataform independent (assuming the correct version of python is already installed on the local computer) Thanks Nic On 5 Dec 2005 02:45:04 -0800, "James" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Use Jython or IronPython. >(Almost) One click web deployment is only available for Java and .NET >platforms at the moment. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Is there an equivalent to Java Webstart in Python?
Use Jython or IronPython. (Almost) One click web deployment is only available for Java and .NET platforms at the moment. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
