### NO_MTIME

  Constant Field Values

### DEFAULT_LEVEL

    public static final int DEFAULT_LEVEL

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

### importLock

    public static final ReentrantLock importLock

  Synchronizes import operations

Method Detail

### getSyspathJavaLoader

    public static ClassLoader getSyspathJavaLoader()

### getParentClassLoader

    public static ClassLoader getParentClassLoader()

  Selects the parent class loader for Jython, to be used for dynamically loaded classes and resources. Chooses between the current and context classloader based on the following criteria:
  - If both are the same classloader, return that classloader.
  - If either is null, then the non-null one is selected.
  - If both are not null, and a parent/child relationship can be determined, then the child is selected.
  - If both are not null and not on a parent/child relationship, then the current class loader is returned (since it is likely for the context class loader to not see the Jython classes)

  Returns:
    the parent class loader for Jython or null if both the current and context classloaders are null.

### addModule

    public static PyModule addModule(String name)

  If the given name is found in sys.modules, the entry from there is returned. Otherwise a new PyModule is created for the name and added to sys.modules

  Returns:
    the compiledFilename eventually used; or null if a compiledFilename couldn't be determined or if an error was thrown while writing to the cache file.
