Kalamazoo College Jython Environment for Students (JES)


Download and unzip the following file to obtain the Kalamazoo College version of the JES environment:
kjes_March08.zip
You may want to download it to the same folder you plan to use for your other files for this course. When unzipped, it will create a new folder called "jes" containing the software for the actual application, a folder of useful images and sounds (the "MediaSources" folder), and a number of other materials. The same file should work under Windows or OS X:

Under Windows:

To start JES, double-click on the kJES.exe file within the "jes" folder. (If your system is not configured to show you the .exe extension, the application you want to double-click on is the one with the little icon of a python face.)

Under OS X:

To start JES, double-click on the kJES.app application within the "jes" folder. (If your system is not configured to show you the .app extension, the application you want to double-click on is the one with the little icon of a python face.)

You may want to put the Mac version of the application software (kJES.app) in your Applications folder. You can also drag it to the dock, if you want to be able to bring it up more easily in the future.


JES is an open source Jython programming environment that includes a set of built in functions for working with multimedia data.
