I've got jython 2.2a1 release installed on a linux fedora core 3 box. if the classpath passed to jython, by means of the environment variable CLASSPATH, contains empty element ("::") then jython interpreter won't initialize properly but terminate imediatelly. Though the problem is avoidable making sure that there is not such empty elements, since the jvm (and I believe the majority of Java programs) do simply ignore them and the error message is far from informative, I do classify it as a bug. To reproduce: $ export CLASSPATH=:/tmp $ jython couldn't open registry file: /home/valentin/.jython Jython 2.2a1 on java1.4.2_08 (JIT: null) error importing site Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/local/share/jython-2.2a1/Lib/site.py", line 66, in ? AttributeError: java package 'sys' has no attribute 'modules' However the following "equivalent" CP does not trigger it. $ export CLASSPATH=/tmp
