Jython 2.7b3 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 release of Jython requires JDK 7 or above.
Some highlights of the changes that come in beta 3:
- Reimplementation of socket/select/ssl on top of Netty 4.
- Requests now works.
- Pip almost works (it works with a custom branch).
- Numerous bug fixes
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.
