Hi Vanos, I am perfectly aware of what Jython is, what I don't know is what you are "clicking and double-clicking". While we are very smart and will surely be able to help you, we are not mind-readers, and we cannot see what is on your computer. You have to help us to help you. That means you have to be *precise and exact* about what you are doing, not vague. I asked you a set of questions, and you have ignored every single one of them. How do you expect us to know what you are doing? We do not have a magic crystal ball. > I does a wait cycle (rotating arrow) > then returns to attention. I am going to GUESS that you are trying to run the Jython installer that you got from here: http://www.jython.org/downloads.html My GUESS is that you have downloaded the installer to your desktop. Since you haven't told me what operating system you are using, I am going to GUESS that you are using Linux, since that is what I am most familiar with. I assume you are using a desktop manager, right-click on the desktop background and select the command to open a terminal or console. In TDE or KDE 3, that will probably be called "Konsole". Or use the Start menu to open a terminal, the menu could be: Start > System > Terminal or Start > Accessories > Terminal or similar, depending on which desktop manager you are using. (If you are using Windows or OS X, there will be some other way to get a terminal or console, but I don't now it.) At the terminal window, you should see a prompt that looks like $ (dollar sign). At the prompt, type: cd ~/Desktop and then press the Enter key. The space between "cd" and the tilde ~ is important. Now type: java -jar jython_installer-2.7.0.jar and press Enter. Again, spaces between words are important. If everything works correctly, the Jython installer GUI will run, and you can install Jython. But if the installer doesn't run, you will probably get a bunch of error messages printed to the terminal window. COPY and PASTE those error messages, and send them to us here. Don't re-type them, and don't try to summarise. We need to see the EXACT messages. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
