Hello,
today I tried Jython for the first time. I created a file test.py, containing Python and Java code which creates a GUI using Swing.
It works, I can try it using the command "jython test.py".
But how can I create an executable file?

Thanks for every help.

Python is a scripting language, so you don't normally compile it to executable. With that said, there are some workarounds.

Yes, I know. But with Jython it should be possible to compile it to executable *.jar-files. How does it work?

OK, my source code:

from javax.swing import JFrame, JButton


frame = JFrame("My first swing GUI", size=(300, 150))

button = JButton("Click me")

frame.add(button)

frame.visible = True


print("Close this window")

I saved it as test.py and run it using "jython test.py". What do I need to enter in the console (or a batch file) to compile it as a *.jar-file?

I haven't used it, but I'm guessing these would be good resources:
