Jython support

Open dahlia opened this issue 12 years ago • 3 comments

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.
