On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that the first release candidate of Jython 2.7 is available! We're getting very close to a real release finally! I'd like to thank Amobee for sponsoring my work on Jython. I'd also like to thank the many contributors to Jython.
Jython 2.7rc1 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.
This release is being hosted at maven central. There are three main distributions. In order of popularity:
- Most likely, you want the traditional installer. See the installation instructions for using the installer.
- A pre-built standalone version. See the installation instructions for details about standalone mode.
- A source only distribution.
