This release is being entirely hosted at maven central. The traditional installer can be found here. See the installation instructions for using the installer. Three other versions are available:
- A pre built standalone version (see the installation instructions for details about standalone mode).
- A jython.jar (like the standalone version but without the bundled python files).
- A source only distribution.
This release fixes numerous bugs since the 2.5.2 release of Jython. Some highlights include:
- File uploads where broken in Tomcat and Jetty.
- Imports sometimes blew the stack. This was seen in SQLAlchemy for example.
- Some race conditions and threading issues where fixed.
- Several JSR 223 problems have been fixed.
See the NEWS file for details.
Please report any bugs that you find. Thanks!
Good job Frank!
ReplyDeleteWhen can we expect Jython 2.7 release?
Cheers,
Katharsis
2.7 is coming along - we should get a beta out somewhere in the next several weeks and then we'll see how much polishing is needed from there.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Frank & community!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks to Adconion Media Group too.
I personally can't wait to see the 2.7 release, hopefully the recent momentum around Jython will not fade away.
S.
Good job!
ReplyDeleteIn my company we're really expecting to see 2.7.
Thanks!
Don't worry about Jython 2.7 "fading away" -- it's getting close to a beta release. I am now a permanent employee at Adconion and Adconion uses Jython internally. They really want to see a 2.7 too. This makes a Jython 2.7 release a priority both professionally and personally for me. Also a 2.7 final is a prerequisite for starting on the even more exciting (at least to me) Jython3 effort.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the 2.5.3 release!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work Jythonistas!
ReplyDeleteI was particularly grateful to see the wsgi file-reading fix.
Thanks for all the work you all put into this.
Thank you. Is there any chance of having a portable (non-installed) version like JRuby?
ReplyDeleteIf you are interested in a pure (well 99.9%) Jython web application concept using the ZK framework that really works have a look at :- http://books.zkoss.org/wiki/Small_Talks/2011/December/Python_With_ZK_Part3
ReplyDeleteWell done with Jython, we now use it in production with ZK - it's magic.
bobzk: ZK looks cool - thanks for the note and encouragement!
ReplyDeleteFrank, one of the reasons I posted was I felt Jython doesn't get the recognition and or praise it deserves. Jruby, Grails, or just plain Java they seem to get the attention.
ReplyDeleteBut the smalltalk really shows you how to create Tomcat web server applications without touching (or even knowing) one bit of Java. With Jython and ZK we estimate development time is cut by at least 50%.
Performance is fine.
We have a number of customers with quite complex internal Intranet and external Internet web applications. All using Tomcat without any Java code.
The Jython web site could do with a forum and also a "add_on" section (probably wrong title).
More people should know about Jython with Tomcat and our little bit of Java we use (as shown in the smalltalk) to make it all work must be useful to other people. That's the bit of code I want to share with the Jython community.
A forum would be a better way (than blogs) to share ideas.
My smalltalk is of course on the ZK site but that is geared to ZK and where most people are already JAVA inclined. By having something here on a JYTHON oriented site it should be more useful.
Keep up the good work.
bobzk: we do have mailing lists see http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=12867
ReplyDeletejython-users would be a good place for this sort of thing.
We aren't currently spending much time on the website - python.org is going through a big upgrade so we may ask to participate with that as it goes on (and it may include forums) but that will take a while.
