Hello Pythonistas (and especially Jythonistas),
I've noticed Jython is orphaned in Fedora.
There is a new version 2.7.2 available from March 2020. I took a peek, however
there are patches in Fedora's Jython I don't fully understand, so it is not easy
for me to rebase them.
Isn't Jython a Python2 implementation? I thought it was orphaned because the amount of Python2 needed to make it useful was getting to be problematic. The Jython3 stack seems to be at continual catchup with Python as it is mentioning Python3.8 on the last times the pages are updated.
What does having Jython remain in Fedora help with?
I'd like to keep Jython in Fedora, but my interest is not driven by any actual
need. I don't know any actual Jythonistas using Fedora. Do you? Are there any?
I can help with the Python side of things wrt Jython maintenance, but my Java
skills are almost non-existent.
If there is someone who would like to keep Jython in Fedora by maintaining it,
even if they are not yet a packager, please talk to me.
Thanks,
