I installed 2.5.2 on HP NonStop Server version H06.23.00.  The HP NonStop is also known as Tandem, and it has a POSIX layer called Open System Services (OSS).  The installation went OK, but when I started the interpreter, the characters are not echoed as you type them. The command is echoed after you hit <Enter>:

Jython 2.5.2 (Release_2_5_2:7206, Mar 2 2011, 23:12:06)
[Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM ("Hewlett-Packard Company")] on java1.6.0

Have you tried different values for the python.console property in the registry file? Here are the options in my registry file

# Jython ships with a JLine console (http://jline.sourceforge.net/)
# out of the box. Setting this to the name of a different console class,
# new console features can be enabled. Readline support is such an
# example:
#python.console=org.python.util.ReadlineConsole
#python.console.readlinelib=JavaReadline
# To activate the legacy Jython console:
#python.console=org.python.util.InteractiveConsole

I recommend trying the "legacy Jython console".

Allan, enabling legacy Jython console in the registry file fixed it.  Thanks a lot!

This issue has been resolved, but I do not know how to change the status to closed.
