# Jython Scripting This addon provides a [Jython](https://www.jython.org/) 2.7.2 for use with scripted automation and eliminates the need to download Jython and create `EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS` entries for `bootclasspath`, `python.home` and `python.path`. The `python.home` System property will be set to the path of the add-on. The `python.path` System property will be set to `$OPENHAB_CONF/automation/lib/python`, but any existing `python.path` will be appended to it.
