Message7443

When I checkout the twisted trunk and try to run it with cpython (without having done a proper setup.py install), I get the following error

C:\>C:\Python27\python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

>>> from twisted.scripts import trial

And I see that we have an issue in our bug tracker for zope.interface, related to pyopenssl, although I don't know if that is the cause of this problem.

Issue with zope.interface
http://bugs.jython.org/issue1195

Does zope.interface run on jython? Are you using other parts of twisted successfully on jython?

Here is a blog post from 2008 (by Martijn Faassen) discussing porting zope.interface to jython.

Although I don't know what the status of that effort is?

This Twisted ticket says that jython support was removed in 2009

http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3725

I don't know if it's been reinstated?

I think you should contact the twisted folks and ask them if they expect twisted to run on jython, and if they do, which bits of it?

If you do contact them, please post a link on this ticket.
