Hi Troy, once again thanks for the quickie. I installed everything properly now (error free!! yay) and the j2py script is located under : C:\Documents and Settings\Ujjal Pathak\Desktop\java2python-0.2\build \scripts-2.5
Meaning under scripts-2.5 folder, there are two files j2py and jast_print but without any file extension though! Here's the screenie : http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/675/95456528nk3.png Once I fixed the path for both Python and j2py, only Python seems to be working but not j2py. Here is the screenie : http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/1796/51776836tf4.png So, I wonder what might be the problem now? ^^ :) On Feb 27, 11:27 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Jeremy, that's the problem I'm having.
