On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that
Jython 2.2 is available for download. See the installation instructions.

This is the first production release of Jython in nearly six years,
and it contains many new features:
  • new-style classes
  • Java List integration
  • PEP 302 implementation
  • iterators
  • generators
  • __future__ division
  • support for running on modern JVMs
  • a new installer
  • ssl and non-blocking support for socket

This gives Jython the same set of language features as Python 2.2.
For a more complete list of the additions from 2.1 to 2.2, see the
NEWS file in the release. Only the version numbers changed in the
code from 2.2rc3 to this release.

Woohoo!!

  5. Chris Arndt: Indeed new style classes are a big part of the reason that 2.2 took so long. The next version (maybe 2.5?) should come much more quickly.

  6. Hurrah and congratulations! I'm very happy to hear this project is alive and kicking again. Java and Python are two languages I have a lot of time for (one because I like it, the other because I get paid to write it -- guess which!), and it's nice to have them place nice with each other.

        including -i and -E support.
      * a JAR and POM that may be cited as a dependency by other projects
        using Gradle or Maven (experimental).
      * a great many bug-fixes.

  9. On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that the final release of Jython 2.7.0 is available! It's been a long road to get to 2.7, and it's finally here! I'd like to thank Amobee for sponsoring my work on Jython. I'd also like to thank the many contributors to Jython, including - but not limited to - bug reports, patches, pull requests, documentation changes, support emails, and fantastic conversation on Freenode at #jython.

    Along with language and runtime compatibility with CPython 2.7.0, Jython 2.7 provides substantial
    support of the Python ecosystem. This includes built-in support of pip/setuptools (you can use with bin/pip) and a native launcher for Windows (bin/jython.exe), with the implication that you can finally install Jython scripts on Windows.

    Jim Baker presented a talk at PyCon 2015 about Jython 2.7, including demos of new features.

    Please see the NEWS file for detailed release notes. This release of Jython requires JDK 7 or above.
