Jython: preload PythonInterpreter with values for use in scripts
 

How can I set variables in PythonInterpreter such that
scripts then run via import can have access to it.

My idea was to go along the lines of:

PythonInterpreter ip = new PythonInterpreter();
// make the object about to use the interpreter
// available to that interpreter
ip.set("javaCaller", this);
ip.exec("import mystuff");

Within mystuff.py I wanted to do things like

m = sys.modules['__main__']
m.javaCaller.setThoseNiftyFeaturesOfTheCallingJava Object("hello")

Alas, sys.modules does not contain '__main__'.

Is there any way to get hold of locals() of PythonInterpreter ip within
a module imported as shown above?

I would expect that execfile allows the above communication,
but then I have to do all the searching for the module myself.
Therefore a solution where the module is simply imported as above
is preferred.

Thanks,
Harald.
