Jython is a Java implementation of the Python language. It allows users
to compile Python source code to Java bytecodes, and run the resulting
bytecodes on any Java Virtual Machine. Jython community has announced the release of Jython 2.2's first beta version. This release contains all of the major features for a 2.2 release.
According to the Jython Roadmap, "Jython in its current state is quite
fragile... The next Jython 2.x release will build on the cleanup in
the last release, and in this release we will be able to consider
performance enhancements, CPython frameworks, and other considerations
that where shelved for the last release."
JPython was created in late
1997 by Jim Hugunin, so its been there since for 10 years. Since a new
maintainer (Frank Wierzbicki) took over Jython, there has been visible
progress with Jython.
