A while ago I started a port of the CPython devguide but I never got it to the point that I felt I could release it. I've decided that it's better to have an incomplete version out there vs. having no Jython devguide at all, so I'm doing a soft launch. It contains much CPython specific instructions that don't actually apply to Jython and it certainly has gaps. Some of the gaps are flagged by TODO notes. Please feel free to comment or, best of all, send patches! Patches can be made against the main devguide (for enhancements that apply to both CPython and Jython) or, for Jython only changes: the Jython fork.
Jeff Allen's Jython 2.7.2 release announcement:
On behalf of the Jython development team, I am pleased to announce that
Jython 2.7.2 has been released.
Notable additions include:
* much improved support for locale, but as a backward-incompatible
change, it is provided as an opt-in.
* a main program that behaves more like CPython in many small ways,
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.
For the details see: https://www.jython.org/news and the NEWS link
there. Convenient download links are at https://www.jython.org/download .
Thanks are due to the many contributors to Jython for making this possible.
