### Field Detail

#### PYTHON_CACHEDIR

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_CACHEDIR

`python.cachedir` defines the directory to use for caches (currently just package information). This directory should be writable by the user. If this is an absolute path it is used as given, otherwise it is interpreted relative to sys.prefix (typically the directory of this file).

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_CACHEDIR_SKIP

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_CACHEDIR_SKIP

Setting `python.cachedir.skip` to true disables the package scan for the cachedir (as defined by `python.cachedir` or a default). Please be aware that disabling this will break importing from java packages.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_CPYTHON

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_CPYTHON

`python.cpython2` is the name of a CPython executable, version 2.7.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_DIVISION_WARNING

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_DIVISION_WARNING

`python.division.warning` will print deprecation warnings when doing forced floor rounding with the / division operator.

"3/2" equals 1 in Python 2.x (forced floor rounding) and 1.5 in Python 3 (convert ints to floats). This is equivalent to -Qwarn on the command line. See PEP 238.

Values: `old`, `warn`, `warnall`.

This property will be deprecated and removed in 3.x.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_CONSOLE

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_CONSOLE

`python.console` names the class used for the Jython console. Jython ships with a JLine console (http://jline.sourceforge.net/) out of the box. This is selected by default in the Jython command-line application (`jython`) if you do not define `python.console` to be another class on the command line. Alternatively, you can set `python.console` in the registry, but be aware that this will also affect the console in applications that embed a PythonInterpreter, or use Jython as a JSR-223 script engine.

Values for `python.console`
`JLineConsole` (default)
`PlainConsole` (featureless)

You may also set this to the name of a different console class in your classpath that extends PlainConsole. Note that `org.python.util.ReadlineConsole` has been removed in 2.7.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_CONSOLE_ENCODING

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_CONSOLE_ENCODING

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_IMPORT_SITE

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_IMPORT_SITE

`python.import.site` controls whether to import `site.py`. Boolean.

Equivalent to -S on the command line.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_INSPECT

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_INSPECT

When `python.inspect` is set, and a script given on the command line finishes, start an interactive interpreter. Any non-empty string value will enable this behaviour.

Equivalent to the `-i` option on the command-line, or The session only actually starts if the console is interactive.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_IO_ENCODING

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_IO_ENCODING

`python.io.encoding` controls the encoding of `sys.stdin`, `sys.stdout`, and `sys.stderr`. The encoding must name a Python codec, as in `codecs.encode()`.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_IO_ERRORS

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_IO_ERRORS

`python.io.errors` is the unicode error handler for I/O encoding problems.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_LOCALE_CONTROL

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_LOCALE_CONTROL

`python.locale.control` determines locale module behaviour, including enabling locale module support, currently in beta.

Values:

Values for `python.locale.control`
`settable` | Python locale module is available and supports `setlocale()` and other standard functions. This will be the default in a future Jython version.
`jython2_legacy` (default) | Mix of implicit Java locale and emulated 'C' locale behaviour, consistent with behaviour in Jython 2.7.1 and earlier. Will be deprecated in a future Jython version.

More detail can be found in the documentation for the `locale` module and the underlying platform services exposed in `_locale`.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_MODULES_BUILTIN

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_MODULES_BUILTIN

`python.modules.builtin` controls the list of builtin modules; you can add, remove, or override builtin modules. The value for this registry key is a comma separated list of module entries, each entry of which has the following allowable forms:

Values for `python.modules.builtin`
`name` | The module name is `name` and the class name is `org.python.modules.name`
`name:class` | The module name is `name` and the class name is `class` where class must be a fully qualified Java class name
`name:null` | The module `name` is removed from the list of builtin modules

A good example would be to use a jni version of os for more functionality by having an entry such as `os:com.foo.jni.os`

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_OPTIONS_CASE_OK

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_OPTIONS_CASE_OK

If `python.options.caseok` is true, Jython will use the first module found on `sys.path` where java `File.isFile()` returns true. Setting this will have no effect on unix-type filesystems. On Windows/HFS+ systems setting it to true will enable Jython-2.0 behaviour.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_OPTIONS_INCLUDE_JAVA_STACK_IN_EXCEPTIONS

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_OPTIONS_SHOW_JAVA_EXCEPTIONS

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_OPTIONS_SHOW_JAVA_EXCEPTIONS

When an exception occurs in Java code, and it is not caught, `python.options.showJavaExceptions` controls whether the interpreter prints out the Java exception in the traceback. Boolean, false by default.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_OPTIONS_Q_NEW

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_OPTIONS_Q_NEW

`python.options.Qnew` controls whether true division is enabled for the / operator. See PEP 238. Boolean.

Equivalent to -Qnew on the command line.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_OS

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_OS

`python.os` defines the string used to report the underlying operating system. Used as prefix when resolving which operating system, impacting some OS-specific behaviour.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_PACKAGES_FAKEPATH

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_PACKAGES_FAKEPATH

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_PACKAGES_DIRECTORIES

`python.packages.directories` defines a sequence of property names. Each property name is a path string, in which the elements are directories.

`python.path` is the search path for Python modules, equivalent to CPython's `PYTHONPATH` environment variable.

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

#### PYTHON_SECURITY_RESPECT_JAVA_ACCESSIBILITY

    public static final java.lang.String PYTHON_SECURITY_RESPECT_JAVA_ACCESSIBILITY

If `python.security.respectJavaAccessibility` is false, and you are using a Java version before Java 9, then Jython can access non-public fields, methods, and constructors. Normally, Jython can only provide access to public members of classes.

This may be deprecated in the future due to Java changes to accessibility from version 9 (at least for Oracle JDK and OpenJDK). See documentation on the `--illegal-access` (new) and `--permit-illegal-access` java command line flags for more detail.
