Description
Hello, thanks for this wrapper, this is wonderfully useful. Installing it took me a few minutes, maybe these notes will help someone else (and perhaps could be added to the README?)
JPypy is a dependency, pip cannot install it (in Jan 2013), get it directly from the Download link:
http://jpype.sourceforge.net/
JAVA_HOME needs to be configured correctly. On Ubuntu 12.04 I use:
$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64
and I got to this via:
$ whereis java # -> /usr/bin/java
$ ls -la /usr/bin/java # -> /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java # -> /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
and then I chopped off the JRE part so JAVA_HOME points to ./include, ./lib, ./bin etc
I believe this JDK package is needed too: "openjdk-6-jdk (6b24-1.11.5-0ubuntu1~12.04.1)".
Now install JPype:
./JPype-0.5.4.2/ $ python setup.py install
and then install python-boilerplate
./python-boilerpipe/ $ python setup.py install

Seconding the thanks for this wrapper, made boilerpipe very easy to use from the command-line. Like @ianozsvald I did have a few installation issues, thought I would share here just to contribute to the knowledge:
I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 as above, using java-6-openjdk-amd64. Here's what I did after running the python-boilerpipe setup script:
sudo apt-get install python-jpype
sudo pip install charade
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64
edit _linux.py in the jpype package
sudo vi /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jpype/_linux.py
to specify the default JVM path as
return "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so"
Without the last step, I was getting
RuntimeError: Unable to load DLL [/usr/java/jre1.5.0_05/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so], error = /usr/java/jre1.5.0_05/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at src/native/common/include/jp_platform_linux.h:45
even with my JAVA_HOME set correctly. This is with jpype version 0.5.4.2-2 provided by the Ubuntu package. There is some surprising code in _linux.py that tries to determine the libjvm.so.

I'm not into Python yet. I have installed boilerpipe, but I do not know how to install this software. I would appreciate some assistance. I run on Windows 8.1, Ubuntu 14.04, Mac OS X. I have used git a couple of times on Mac.
