Finally, Django works on Jython, without any special patching. Right now it is recommended to use the development version of both projects, but as soon as Django and Jython ship a new stable release, you will be able to use that too.

Using Django on Jython

Finally, Django works on Jython, without any special patching. Here are the steps to get Django on Jython running:

  1. First, get a fresh version of Jython. Any release after 2.5b2 should work fine.
  2. Check out and install Django 1.0.X (The 1.0.2 release mostly work, but you will have to manually apply this patch: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9789 .

    • $ svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/branches/releases/1.0.X/ django-1.0.X
      $ cd django-1.0.X
      $ jython setup.py install
      You may also like to make an alias for "django-admin.py". Very useful if you also use Django with CPython:
      $ alias django-admin-jy="jython /path/to/jython-dev/dist/bin/django-admin.py"
  3. Check out and install django-jython:
    • $ svn co http://django-jython.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ django-jython
      $ cd django-jython
      $ jython setup.py install
  4. Start a project.
    • $ django-admin-jy startproject myproject
  5. Edit myproject/settings.py and change the DATABASE_ENGINE to doj.backends.zxjdbc.postgresql.

At this point, you can follow the great Django documentation, remembering to use the jython25 command instead of python, and the JYTHONPATH variable instead of PYTHONPATH. Have fun!

Troubleshooting

Running the test suite on Windows

Seems like there is an issue with popen() on windows, which blocks the Django test suite. You can try skipping the offending test using these two patches (against Django 1.0.2), written by Victor Ng:
