[Python-Dev] Reserving an arg space for Jython (original) (raw)

Hi all,

I was wondering if it might be possible for Jython to get an "arg space" for command line execution. We try to deliver the same switches that Python delivers (so for example -c means "program passed in as string" on Python and Jython). We have some need for arguments that would be Jython-specific, for example we would like to be able to pass arguments to the Java process that starts Jython. I would just make one up, but it would be best if it was future compatible with Python (so -J would be great, but it would be annoying if -J started to mean something in a future Python).

So what do guys say? Can we hava -J? I don't think it is being used yet...

-Frank
