Re: Question about compiling with Jython

Java definitely needs a main(). But, I will admit that I didn't know 
(didn't remember) that Jython puts one in there! Here it is:

PS nomain> javap '.\HelloWorld$py.class'
Compiled from "C:\Users\Jeff\Documents\Jython\270\nomain\HelloWorld.py"
public class HelloWorld$py extends org.python.core.PyFunctionTable implements org.python.core.PyRunnable {
   static HelloWorld$py self;
   static final org.python.core.PyCode f$0;
   public org.python.core.PyObject f$0(org.python.core.PyFrame, org.python.core.ThreadState);
   public HelloWorld$py(java.lang.String);
   public org.python.core.PyCode getMain();
   public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
   public static org.python.core.CodeBootstrap getCodeBootstrap();
   public org.python.core.PyObject call_function(int, org.python.core.PyFrame, org.python.core.ThreadState);
}

Thanks for asking the question.
