Jython Needs Developers

[Posted July 16, 2003 by cook]

Jython, an implementation of the Python language in Java, needs developer help. ..."But the thing is that there has always been a bit of a shortage of core Jython developers, and lately things have been even worse. Apparently Finn Bock hasn't been active for a while, and Samuele Pedroni et al. don't have time for everything. I don't know the details of the whole story, but Guido mentioned about this in his EuroPython keynote, and the message was that there aren't enough core developers right now for Jython. "

It's the other way around: Jython is an implementation of the Python
language written in 100% pure Java. This makes more sense anyway, I guess.

Cheers,

Sigh. We knew that. I was the reviewer for that page and let that slip by anyway...guess I was getting tired. Fixed now.
