Re: Servlet ImportError: Cannot import site module and its dependencies: No module named site

Hi David.

The modjy documentation has a fair amount of detail about running jython
inside servlet containers. Although the docs are for modjy, the
configuration details described are also generally applicable to running
jython in servlet containers.

These two pages should contain relevant information.

http://opensource.xhaus.com/projects/modjy/wiki/ModjyDeployment
http://opensource.xhaus.com/projects/modjy/wiki/ModjyTroubleShooting

The relevant java code that controls all of this is here

https://hg.python.org/jython/file/tip/src/com/xhaus/modjy/ModjyJServlet.java

In particular, it looks like you should be looking at the jython registry,
how it is located and what values it contains.

https://wiki.python.org/jython/UserGuide#finding-the-registry-file
http://www.jython.org/jythonbook/en/1.0/appendixA.html

Lastly, is there a reason why you don't want to use modjy? It is custom
designed for running jython application inside servlet containers,
specifically WSGI applications.

Regards,

Alan.
