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.

ReplyDeleteWhat are the plans for release of the 2.7 versions, and can we expect to have these at maven central anytime soon?
Now that I have the release process cleaned up a bit, I plan to put all future releases into maven. I am closing on a beta for 2.7, but it will probably be a few weeks before I get that out.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your hard work. Having a 2.7 (or even 2.6) compatible Python for the JVM will be great for everyone.
