Installation all worked smoothly. But when I try

>>> import geoscript

I get 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "geoscript/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from java.lang import System
ImportError: No module named java.lang

Hey Ulrich, what installation method did you use? This error makes me think that you're trying to run geoscript on a non Jython runtime?

ustroetz commented 10 years ago

Hey Justin, I installed it as described here: http://geoscript.org/py/devel.html#devel. I think you are right if I use a Jython terminal it works fine. But if I use a Python terminal I get the described error. So is it even possible to use geoscript in a simple python script?

Ok, that makes sense. So no, it's not possible to run geoscript on any other python runtime than jython. GeoScript is built on top of GEoTools (a java library) so it requires a Java runtime to operate. I guess we need to make this more evident in that guide.

Okay cool. Thanks for explaining that.
