Jython: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:24, 30 August 2018

A Python interpreter that runs on Java, it got a lot of interest around the years 2003-5 as it was at the least as fast as the native Python interpreter and in some cases such as dealing with larger programs actually at times less troublesome, however improvements in the code of the original Python have more or less relegated Jython to a niche of integration into Java systems such as the Eclipse editor and as an alternative on embedded system that have good Java support. Version 2.7 and later require Java 7 so will not work on OS/2 as things stand, however the Java 6 compatible 2.5.4 is still getting bug fixes in the trunk.

There was also a predecessor to Jython called JPython.
