Could it have something to do with your PATH or CLASSPATH settings? Here's a test script that works for me:
#!/usr/bin/env jython from java import lang from javax import swing print "lang attributes: " for attr in dir(lang): print "\t%s" % attr print print "swing attributes: " for attr in dir(swing): print "\t%s" % attr print print "Good Bye!" Note: both #!/usr/bin/env jython and #!/bin/env jython seem to work on the OSU stdsun system...
