On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that the first beta of Jython 2.7 is available. I'd like to thank Adconion Media Group for sponsoring my work on Jython. I'd also like to thank the many contributors to Jython.


Jython 2.7b1 brings us up to language level compatibility with the 2.7 version
of CPython. We have focused largely on CPython compatibility, and so this
release of Jython can run more pure Python apps then any previous release.
Please see the NEWS file for detailed release notes. Some notable new features
in this release are: a bytearray implementation, a buffer api, memoryview, and a
bz2 module.

As the first beta release, this marks a change in the focus of development
from adding features to bug fixing and on getting more of the test suite
running properly.


This release is being hosted at maven central. The traditional installer can be found here. See the installation instructions for using the installer. Three other versions are available:

    Oh wow! Earlier today I was wondering whether jython had gone the way of ironruby. Glad to know I was wrong. Thanks a lot.
