On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that the final release of Jython 2.7.0 is available! It's been a long road to get to 2.7, and it's finally here! I'd like to thank Amobee for sponsoring my work on Jython. I'd also like to thank the many contributors to Jython, including - but not limited to - bug reports, patches, pull requests, documentation changes, support emails, and fantastic conversation on Freenode at #jython.

Along with language and runtime compatibility with CPython 2.7.0, Jython 2.7 provides substantial
support of the Python ecosystem. This includes built-in support of pip/setuptools (you can use with bin/pip) and a native launcher for Windows (bin/jython.exe), with the implication that you can finally install Jython scripts on Windows.

Jim Baker presented a talk at PyCon 2015 about Jython 2.7, including demos of new features.

Please see the NEWS file for detailed release notes. This release of Jython requires JDK 7 or above.

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.

Update: This release of Jython requires JDK 7 or above.

I now have a contract with Adconion Media Group to produce a 2.7 version of Jython by July 15 of this year. It all started when my colleague Miki Tebeka asked how long it was going to be before a Jython 2.7 was going to become available. At the time I did not have a very happy answer to that one.

On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that Jython 2.5.3 beta1 is available for download. See the installation instructions.

Jython 2.5.3 fixes a number of bugs, including some errors when using relative imports. Please see the NEWS file for detailed release notes.

Releases of Python (and so releases of Jython) sometimes add new built-in types. In 2.6, a new such buitin is the "bytes" type. In the 2.x series, "bytes" is just a synonym for "str".
