It's not sys.path (that's where PYTHONPATH ends up), it's the env's PATH or,

process has started, my understanding is that it's too late already.

Right.  On Windows, though, this works:

I haven't tried this but it seems to be missing stuff on the Path.
I see you're adding %javahome%/bin/client to Path but what about %javahome%/bin ? It contains some other needed library. Maybe jvm.dll knows how to find the rest ? Maybe there is no 'rest' to find ?

If I were to include this into JCC, I'd probably rewrite it in C++ so as to not depend on the optional winreg module and add a simple call to this in __init__.py instead. Also, this trick has to be made optional to not be in the way of more exotic setups such as people with multiple installs of various JREs, etc, etc...

I guess, I should rewrite this to attempt loading jvm.dll and only play the Path trick if that call fails. Ok, food for thought :)

Andi..

The downside is that you have to add this kind of little startup blit
to each JCC-wrapped module.  So, this either needs to be turned into
a JCC utility function which gets called once per Python instantiation,
or generated by the wrapper generation process for each module.
