How can I install various Python libraries in Jython?

by

Some Python modules, like lxml, have required components in C. These won’t work in Jython.

Most Python packages will work fine, and you can install them using the same tools as you use in CPython. This is described in Appendix A of Jython Book:

To get setuptools, download ez_setup.py from
http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py. Then, go to the
directory where you left the downloaded file and execute:

$ jython ez_setup.py

[The easy_install script will be] installed to the bin directory of
the Jython installation (/home/lsoto/jython2.5.0/bin in the example
above). If you work frequently with Jython, it’s a good idea to
prepend this directory to the PATH environment variable, so you don’t
have to type the whole path each time you want to use easy_install or
other scripts installed to this directory.

Testing it myself, after installing setuptools in Jython, pip installed correctly:

$ sudo /usr/bin/jython2.5.2b1/bin/easy_install pip
