On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that the second 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 2.7b2 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. This is primarily a bugfix
release, with numerous improvements, including much improvement on Windows
support.
As a beta release we are concentrating on bug fixing and stabilization for a
production release.
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:
- 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.
