Title: Jython Home Page

<p>Welcome to the Jython homepage.  Jython is an implementation of
the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented language
<a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a> written in 
100% Pure Java, and seamlessly integrated with 
the <a href="http://www.javasoft.com">Java</a> platform.  It thus
allows you to run Python on any Java platform.

<p>Over the next short while, the Jython website will be
revamped. Suggestions for the revamp welcome. Send suggestions to the
Jython developer mailing list.</p>

<p><dt><b>25 October 2004: Progress on new-style classes
implementation</b></dt></p>

<p>
Samuele Pedroni is making strong progress in the end-to-end
modifications required to the Jython code-base in order to support
new-style classes. The implementation of new style classes in Jython
is a key moment on the road to compatibility with CPython 2.3 and
beyond.

Samuele plans to make an initial check-in of the branch on or around
<b>15 November 2004</b>. Stay tuned for further updates.

For more details about the state of play, see the jython-dev archive <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5754593&forum_id=5587">here</a> and <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9838528">here</a>

<p><dt><b>25 October 2004: Jython tutorial</b></dt></p>

<p>
Barry Feigenbaum has written a substantial two part Jython tutorial on
using Jython. The tutorial consists of two PDF files: <a
href="j-jython1-ltr.pdf">Part 1</a> (82 pages) and <a
href="j-jython2-ltr.pdf">Part 2</a> (100 pages). First published by IBM developerWorks at <a
href="http://www.ibm.com/developerWorks/">http://www.ibm.com/developerWorks/</a>.
</p>

    <p><dt><b>April 2004: Newstyle branch work.</b>
     <dd> Work is undergoing since the beginning of the year to implement new-style classes
        features (the biggest quantum-leap post 2.1 missing feature for a new release) on the newstyle-branch in the CVS (see e.g. <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/jython/jython/org/python/core/Attic/PyType.java?only_with_tag=newstyle-branch">this check-in</a>). <b> There will be a new alpha release when this branch will be merged to the trunk. We expect then a new release for the summer, with 2.2 and some 2.3 features. Leading up to the release this site will be revamped.</b>

    <p><dt><b>31 July 2003 : Jython 2.2 alpha 0 available</b>

    <dd>Experimental, unstable release of Jython now available. This is an
        alpha release, in that it is not feature complete for a Jython 2.2
	release, and there are significant known issues. 
	<p>
        This is a snapshot that contains a mixture of Python 2.1 and 2.2
        features. Use this release at your own risk.
	<p>
	There has been no validation of which parts of the Python
        library are functional with this relase. Expect pickle and
        related modules to be broken, probably others as well.

          <li> Python 2.0 was released on 20 Oct 2000.</ul>

      Indeed 2.1 (corresponding feature-wise to CPython 2.1)  is becoming our 1.5.2,
      it is not perfect but quite stable and can be used for real work, and is also
      documented in print:
