Jython 2.2 is finally here!

The first major production release of Jython after almost 6 years is finally here. Jython 2.2 implements Python 2.2 and also includes a number of features from Python 2.3. Few major features that I like include:

  • New-style classes and their instances are Java serializable

  • Java collections integration

  • New and Improved socket module

  • Support for JDK1.5 and 1.6

  • telnetlib from CPython

  • Lots of bug fixes

The complete changelog is posted at http://www.jython.org/NEWS.
I hope BEA will consider bundling Jython 2.2 in its next major release.

    Do you know of any way to get WLST to run with Jython2.2x? Attempting to import wlst definitions as a Jython module in 2.2x fail. BEA states that since WLST was developed against 2.1, only 2.1 will work and is supported.

    I haven’t tried WLST with Jython 2.2 myself. But it should work with 2.2. What kind of errors do you see?
