java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot create PyString with non-byte value


(It might be related to bug #2288.)

Probably similar cause to test_os_jy failure in #2397.

Ok, I know this is bit old ... I am unable to reproduce this in the tip. I can reproduce it (around the time of the report) at 2.7b4, but not at 2.7rc1 or 2.7.0, so I propose we consider it fixed by side-effect of some other change.

There may be other byte/unicode things lurking, but is exactly this still a problem to anyone?

I just encountered this bug in 2.7.0, but looking at the source code it appears it has probably been fixed since that release (the backtrace says it's failing in PyString and there is now no PyString call in zipimporter.readZipFile). Can you advise me on how to obtain a jython-standalone-....jar file where this is fixed? Not familiar with the site or with build procedure.

You can readily build using Java 8 and latest Ant. Note that there's a problem with Java 8's support of the Antlr version we use, so you have to run the build twice. (Not a good answer. It does build fine on Java 7, which is still available/possibly even supported on OS X.) Build like so:

$ ant all-jars

Then from the dist directory:

$ ls dist/*.jar
dist/callbacker_test.jar	dist/jython-standalone.jar
dist/javadoc.jar		dist/jython.jar
dist/jython-dev.jar		dist/sources.jar
dist/jython-installer.jar
