Issue1827

Copy of issue 1826

Suggest 1826 be closed as this one contains a fuller example of what the user is having trouble with. The text from 1826 is this:

======
I created a script as "svc_params['SH_CAMPAIGN_ID'] = 'CAMPAIGN_ID'"

I compiled and executed the script in java using jython compiler and interpreter.

I am trying to extract script variables in java object using PyDictionary. PyDictionary constructor does not allow assigning the reference to the internal variable Map. So i am not able to get the scripts variable values in PyDictionay(Java).Is there any way where i can get those variables to Java. The same code works for 2.2.1 but not for 2.5.2. Please find my samples files attached. Please let me know if you need more details.

======

The change of behaviour from 2.2.1 to 2.5.2 might be considered an issue (in need of documentation?), but looking athe code, the motive appears to have been an improvement.

On the whole, I think this were better considered a usage question than an issue.

The PyDictionary accepts and initial value for its Map, but it makes a private copy. The client can access it with PyDictionary.getMap(). That's a way I haven't tried as there appears to be a cleaner way.

This code, adapted from the user's example works for me on 2.5.2:

package X;

import org.python.core.CompileMode;
import org.python.core.Py;
import org.python.core.PyCode;
import org.python.core.PyDictionary;
import org.python.core.PySystemState;
import org.python.util.PythonInterpreter;

public class SolveIssue1827 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        // Compile the example program for the Python interpreter
        String scriptSource = "svc_params['SH_CAMPAIGN_ID'] = 'CAMPAIGN_ID'";
        PyCode pyCode = Py.compile_flags(scriptSource, "<string>", CompileMode.exec,
                Py.getCompilerFlags(0, false));

        // Create an interpreter
        PySystemState.initialize();
        PythonInterpreter interp = new PythonInterpreter(null);

        // Create a dictionary for exchange
        PyDictionary ioDictionary = new PyDictionary();
        interp.set("svc_params", ioDictionary);

        // Run the code and show that the exchange dictionary contains the result
        interp.exec(pyCode);
        System.out.println("*************** " + ioDictionary);
    }
}

I get the output:

*************** {'SH_CAMPAIGN_ID': 'CAMPAIGN_ID'}

Close?

Any input from requester on this issue?

Have you tried Jeffs solution?

Does it work or not?
