Information About

Jython




Jython programs can seamlessly import and use any Java class. Except for some standard modules, Jython programs use Java classes instead of Python modules. Jython includes almost all of the modules in the standard Python Programming Language distribution, lacking only some of the modules implemented originally in C. For example, a user interface in Jython would be written with Swing or AWT , rather than with Tkinter. Jython compiles to Java bytecode either on demand or statically.

As Of October 2005 , the current stable version of Jython is 2.1. The implementation of Jython lags behind CPython implementation, but Jython developers are now actively working on version 2.2, which consists of major enhancements such as the new style classes.

Jython 2.2a1 (alpha version, not stable) has been released in July 2005.
