I doubt that too many applications relied on __name__ being set to the name of the jar file. Besides, it is redundant. I changed my __run__.py example program to these 3 lines: import sys print "sys.argv:", sys.argv print "__name__:", __name__ The result: sys.argv: ['jython.jar'] __name__: jython.jar So if they need to get the name of the jar file being executed, they can always get it out of sys.argv[0]

print "sys.argv:", sys.argv

The result:
sys.argv: ['jython.jar']
__name__: jython.jar

So if they need to get the name of the jar file being executed, they can
always get it out of sys.argv[0]
