[Pki-devel] Future availability of Jython 2.5 (and/or preferably Jython 2.7) in Fedora?

[Matthew Harmsen]

Alexander, David, and John,

I am a developer on the Dogtag project (see 
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dogtag) and am currently one of the 
engineers that are re-writing the installation/configuration framework 
in Python 2.7. Since a large part of Dogtag 10 is written in Java 1.7, 
we are currently using the existing "Jython 2.2" that exists in Fedora 
16/17 as a bridge to a new Java configuration servlet (Python 2.7 --> 
Jython 2.2 --> Java 1.7).

I have recently seen on the web that a project has been funded for the 
creation of Jython 2.7 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jython) which 
would allow us to potentially run our Python 2.7 
installation/configuration code as a single Jython 2.7 process, instead.

I am writing to you regarding the current availability of "Jython 2.2" 
in Fedora, and would like to inquire about the potential future 
availability of "Jython 2.7" in Fedora (or even "jython 2.5" since it at 
least contains the "logging" mechanism).

Are any of you aware of any plans in Fedora to move from Jython 2.2 to 
Jython 2.7 once it becomes available?

If so, would any of you be aware of any timeframe for adoption by Fedora?

Thanks in advance,
-- Matt
