Import systems fixes for relative imports and some circular imports. -m command now executes scripts from inside a jar file.

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".
One of my new years resolutions is to make Jython more friendly to new developers. One way to do that is to write up some notes on bits of Jython that are particularly mysterious to newcomers.
About a year and a half ago my dream job of doing nothing but Jython all day and night came to an end. To re-integrate myself into society I had to go cold turkey on Jython for a while so I could learn how to have a regular job again.
I've been meaning to add a creative commons license to this site for a long time. Since the default copyright laws are not conducive to any sort of digital sharing, I think anyone that wants to share their work should take the time to find a license that makes sense for them.
The title says it all! See the details at Jim Baker's blog. There is a reasonable chance that this will become the 2.5.2 final release and that we can start work on the next 2.x version of Jython.
My time at Sauce Labs is at an end, and so I am looking for a new opportunity. I had a great time at Sauce Labs where I worked on building a cloud based infrastructure for test automation with Selenium. I have been working in software for more than twelve years, often in a lead role.
I joined Sauce Labs as of January 3 this year. I met the people at Sauce Labs during the recent startup crawl in San Francisco (what a great way to find an employer, eh?). Sauce Labs is based around support for the open source Selenium functional testing framework.
I've always regarded working full time on Jython at Sun as a miraculous sabbatical that might come to an end at any moment. Sadly that time has come.
On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that Jython 2.5.1 final is available for download. See the installation instructions.
On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that Jython 2.5.1rc3 is available for download. See the installation instructions.

I didn't really want to have an RC3, I was hoping to have a final by now, but a data loss bug was discovered in RC2 and that prompted one more RC.
If you where thinking about submitting a talk to PyCon 2010 you should do it now!
