Jython 2.7b4 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.
Jim Baker put together a great summary of the recent work for beta4.
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. Two other versions are available:
- A pre-built standalone version (see the installation instructions for details about standalone mode).
- A source only distribution.
