Jython support
Currently the latest version of Jython is compatible to Python 2.5. When Jython becomes compatible to Python 2.6 or higher someday, we should suport Jython as well. Watch the Jython project and its roadmap.
Jython seems in development: it just released 2.7 alpha 1.
Several issues should be resolved first:
- Jython 2.7a2 doesn’t have
ctypes.util
module. I reported this to Jython bug tracker. - Attest’s assert hook doesn’t work with Jython 2.7a2. Haven’t discovered the reason.
- progressbar that Attest depends on is incompatible with Jython, because it uses
__builtins__
which is CPython implementation detail instead of explicit import of__builtins__
. I submitted the patch of this to progressbar. -
pip
/easy_install
on Jython seems not able to fetch HTTPS download.
One more issue: there isn’t ctypes.c_char
for Jython 2.7a2 as well. Also reported it.
