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

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 Kaffe, which is the only Java implementation that is light enough for the Linux Terminal Server Project (used in some schools).
