Things are happening in Jython land again. Firstly, there's a new alpha release. It's not ready for the real world yet, it's true, but it's nice to see concrete progress.
Also, there have been a number of Jython related articles and blog postings recently; The Way You Develop Web Applications May Be Wrong, Fun with Jython, Introduction to Jython, Part 1: Java programming made easier and Part 2: Programming essentials, and Simplify Web development with Jython, Spring and Velocity.
Which brings me on to Spring. I'm always a bit suspicious when something looks too good to be true, (after all, why settle for snake-oil then you can have the whole snake,) but Sam assures me that Spring really is as good as it claims to be, so I'm tempted to give it a bash.
Update: A couple more good recent Jython articles: Use Jython to Write Ant Tasks and Learn how to write DB2 JDBC tools in Jython.
Posted to Python by Simon Brunning at April 21, 2004 12:32 PMI almost fell for this entry... The new alpha release that you are talking about is actually almost a year old. I checked on SourceForge and there was no CVS activity since last August. It seems that jython has died.
Posted by: Laszlo Marai on April 21, 2004 03:08 PMHmmm. Right you are, Laszlo, the alpha is actually pretty old. Shame.
But there are lots of patches going into Sourceforge, so Jython isn't dead. It's just resting.
Posted by: Simon Brunning on April 21, 2004 03:25 PMwell the plan was to have a new alpha around now in April, other also important Python related activity had the best of time.
I did some 100kb diff-worth of check-ins related to new-style classes in Feb.
I'm just back from ACCU.
If everything goes well, I expect a new Jython release (with 2.2 features and some 2.3) for the summer.

Posted by: Simon Brunning on April 21, 2004 04:33 PMIt's nice to see Jython development still active, even if its original author is busy writing another Python fork. I was trying to get WebStack running on top of the Java Servlet API using the JythonServlet approach but came up against various import oddities. Perhaps I should reevaluate Jython in the next release - I gave up for now, given that running anything in Java on my laptop is like snorkelling in treacle.
Posted by: Paul Boddie on April 22, 2004 12:57 PMThanks for Samuele's efforts to bring Jython up to date. In the mean time, I will keep using Jython in all aspects of enterprise software development and promote it whenever there is an chance. As far as the status of Jython among corporate developers, the current release is good enough. The problem is most corporate developers don't know what Jython is and what benefits it brings to the table. IMHO, In order for Jython to grow like Java, it does needs lots of articles, books or something like "Jython One" to promote it. The reason? not every corporate developer is self-motivated, they have to be motivated for a reason to learn. Once they learn, they will like it cuz it makes their life easier down the road.
just my 2 cents.

From the looks of it since there has been no activity in almost 3 years, I would think that jython looks quite dead.
Posted by: jython user on January 30, 2007 07:48 PMThere's still activity on the jython-dev list, and -plenty of check-ins, but it's true that Jython is lagging further and further behind. It's about time they got a release out.
