| * WebHelpers | * The `Dialect Refactor II <http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/ticket/672>`_ ticket will help properly support using SQLAlchemy via Jython's DBAPI jdbc driver, `zxJDBC <http://jython.org/Project/userguide.html#database-connectivity-in-jython>`_. Jason Kirtland has begun working on this. |

| Line 23: | Line 27: |
| * decorator | Genshi ------ Jim Baker and Ariane Paola have played around with Genshi on Jython. Its use of pyexpat is the biggest roadblock. Jython now includes a pyexpat, but it's not fully compatible with CPython's (and doesn't support all the features Genshi uses). |

| - Note: decorators aren't currently supported in Jython, however the decorator module doesn't actually use decorators (works on CPython 2.3) | Turbogears 2 ------------ |
| Line 27: | Line 34: |
| * nose - nose requires the optparse (easy) and the compiler module (sort of easy -- compiler requires the parser module, which isn't easy to get). nose only needs the compiler module to use compiler.consts.CO_GENERATOR, maybe jython could provide a broken compiler module that doesn't import parser. |
Ariane Paola made some progress porting TurboGears 2 components to Jython for Google's Summer of Code. Genshi and SQLAlchemy are the most important pieces that need porting |

| * Mako Later down the road: * SQLAlchemy. The [http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/ticket/672 Dialect Refactor II] ticket will need to be implemented to properly support using SQLAlchemy via Jython's DBAPI jdbc driver, [http://jython.org/Project/userguide.html#database-connectivity-in-jython zxJDBC]. Frank Wierzbicki has done some preliminary work on using SQLAlchemy with Jython, info [http://groups.google.com/group/sqlalchemy/browse_frm/thread/d60db24fe1683a41/09320033f406d78b?hl=en&lnk=gst here] |

Pylons on Jython
Pending Improvements
Support more of the out of the box optional components, such as:
SQLAlchemy
- Frank Wierzbicki, Ariane Paoao and others have made some progress making SQLAlchemy work with MySQL via zxJDBC, but no support in SQLAlchemy proper yet.
- Jonathan Ellis made an Oracle backend for SQLAlchemy via zxJDBC: http://pylonshq.com/pasties/77c3184b14d6936d86d13e4e65df92d2 Some other zxJDBC dialects would likely follow this example
- The Dialect Refactor II ticket will help properly support using SQLAlchemy via Jython's DBAPI jdbc driver, zxJDBC. Jason Kirtland has begun working on this.
Jinja2
Jinja2 may work on Jython now. Its tests need to be converted to nosetests so the test suite can run on Jython to ensure this
Genshi
Jim Baker and Ariane Paola have played around with Genshi on Jython. Its use of pyexpat is the biggest roadblock. Jython now includes a pyexpat, but it's not fully compatible with CPython's (and doesn't support all the features Genshi uses).
