Package: jython
Version: 2.5.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
sys.executable should be set when jython is run for the proper functioning of
(at very least least) distutils.
This is done via the -Dpython.executable system property:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.jython.devel/4068
Once I set the property in /usr/bin/jython, I was able to install packages
via "jython setup.py install" and run them with "jython -m <module name>",
like a normal python package.
