Sure. However, you *can* specify multiple jar files on the command line, in the class path. java -cp xerces.jar -jar xalan2.jar This runs xalan2.jar, but adds xerces.jar to the class path. It has all the advantages of a command line option compared to setting CLASSPATH: it won't be inherited to subprocesses, and you can use it on Windows, too, whereas you cannot set environment variables in the command line on Windows. So while -z strictly gives the equivalent -jar, it's actually -cp that is used much more often in Java (I think), and that doesn't have an equivalent in Python still. My typical usage of java goes like this java -cp <endless list of jar files> the.main.class The equivalent Python line would be python -p <path> -m main_module Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
