A category page for content specific to Jython. We discussed creating this page during a Jython BOF at PyCon 2003.

Jython Ideas
Porting Zope
At PyCon, there was some talk of porting ["Zope"], or at least the ZODB, to ["Jython"]. Zope Corp. seems interested in this, but they need Jython 2.2.
Jython with Eclipse
Is it possible to script ["Eclipse"] with ["Jython"]? If so, could we write a little tutorial?
["EclipsePythonIntegration"] gives lots of help.
Jython success stories
We need some. If you know of any large commercial or non-commercial project that has used Jython with success (ideally shipping ["Jython"] code as all or part of a product), please add a note to JythonSuccessStories. Someone will try to track down more information and interview those involved.
Jython Problems
- ["Jython"] is currently (mostly) compatible with Python 2.2.
- In a related point, many people judge "How powerful is Python?" by their first Jython experience. generators, logging, new-style classes, nested scopes, etc ... do not appear.
Jython does not work with [http://www.kaffe.org/ Kaffe], which is the only Java implementation that is light enough for the [http://www.ltsp.org/ Linux Terminal Server Project] (used in some schools).
