Jython: Packing several .py on .jar, problem importing .py modules within the .jar

[Gubatron]

I've managed to solve this problem.

I can now run a python script that lives inside a Jar. The python
script is now able to import other scripts within the same jar, and
it's also able to import java classes that live within the jar.

The problem was solved by giving the Jython Interpreter the proper
initialization. This entails:

- Giving it a class loader that has put the Jar on it's class path
- Adding the path of the jar to the interpreter's sys.path

Here's an example:


			org.python.core.PySystemState pySys = new
org.python.core.PySystemState();
			pySys.setClassLoader(((URLClassLoader) classLoaders.get(jarFile)));

			//We also have to pass the jar to JYTHON_PATH (sys.path)
			//so that it can properly import inner python modules.
			pySys.path.insert(0,new PyString(jarFile));

			//We pass the PythonInterpreter the modified PySystemState
			PythonInterpreter i = new PythonInterpreter(null, pySys);
			i.exec(pythonScriptName);
