Jython 2.7 UpdateFrank Wierzbicki
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Why use Jython?
• Massive amounts of Java code out there
• Some really useful Java libs
• Great JVM ecosystem
• But we’d all rather be writing Python code, right?
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Status
• Jython 2.7 is progresing well
• bytearray and io are the last missing big features
• 2.7 Unit test compliance
• 684 failing tests out of 10786 (~6%)
• Most of these are due to bytearray/io
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Dates
• Jython 2.7 work is being sponsored by Adconion. (Thanks!)
• Jython 2.7 alpha should be out this month
• The target for a production release is July 15 - which happens to be the final day of my contract to get Jython to 2.7 :)

Why is Adconion sponsoring Jython?• Adconion is a hybrid Java/Python shop
based out of LA
• They use Python version 2.7 and Jython 2.5
• They have internal Django apps that access Java libraries
• The 2.5/2.7 differences are a pain
• They’d like to give back to the community
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Collaborators
• Major apps
• Implementations - CPython, PyPy
• Other Java dynamic languages - JRuby
• Tooling support
• Java Virtual Machine development
• Academic research - gradual typing
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Features
• Abstract Base Classes
• Bytearray
• __format__
• OrderedDict
• lots of Lib updates
• See CPython 2.6/2.7 what’s new for more
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Not in Jython 2.7
• multiprocessing
• buffer (so far never has been in Jython)
• memoryview (though there is a start, we’ll see)
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Java Platform
• Starting to (optionally) use invokedynamic
• Everything is compiled to Java Bytecode
• Use a choice of Java garbage collectors
• Always uses Java native threads
• All cores are used
java.util.concurrentnot interpretedno GIL
-J for setting options like one of 20 or so GCsheap sizeetc

Java Integration
• Jython integrates well with Java
• Jython makes calling into Java look like standard Python code
• Java classes and interfaces can be subclassed from Jython
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
builtin Java interfaces
• Jython’s list implements Java List<Object>
• Jython’s dict implements Map and ConcurrentMap
• Jython’s set implements Java Set
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
//Java interfacepackage org.acme;
public interface MyInterface { public List strList();}
#From Python in file “acme.py”from org.acme import MyInterface
class pyobject(MyInterface): def strList(self): return [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’]
//From JavaPythonInterpreter interpreter = new PythonInterpreter ();interpreter.exec ("from acme import pyobject");MyInterface pythonObject = interpreter.get ("pyobject");
List pywords = pythonObject.strList()for (Object o : pyList){ String string = ((PyObject)o).__toJava__(String.class); //Do something with the now Java native strings.}

PlyJy
• For a more sophisticated approach to calling into Python code from Java in Jython see the PlyJy project
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
import org.plyjy.factory.JythonObjectFactory; JythonObjectFactory factory = JythonObjectFactory.getInstance();MyInterface pythonObject = (MyInterface) factory.createObject( MyInterface.class, "acme.pyobject");

Jython package cache
[frank jython]$ ./dist/bin/jython*sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/home/frank/hg/jython/jython/dist/jython-dev.jar'*sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/home/frank/hg/jython/jython/dist/javalib/antlr-2.7.7.jar'*sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/home/frank/hg/jython/jython/dist/javalib/antlr-3.1.3.jar'*sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/home/frank/hg/jython/jython/dist/javalib/antlr-runtime-3.1.3.jar'*sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/home/frank/hg/jython/jython/dist/javalib/asm-4.0.jar'*sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/home/frank/hg/jython/jython/dist/javalib/asm-commons-4.0.jar'

Java package cache
• Goes through all jars and classes and figures out Java package contents
• enables “from java.foo import *”
• Java does not have a package.getClasses()
• If cache is disabled “from java import *” will not work from Jython
• * import for pure python still works

zxJDBC
• zxJDBC implements DB-API
• integrated into Jython’s core
• A crucial piece for SQLAlchemy, Pyramid and Django support.
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Modjy
• Modjy implements WSGI for Jython
• Acts as a bridge to Java Servlets
• integrated into Jython’s core
• Pyramid and Django support
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Working apps
• SQLAlchemy
• Pyramid, DJango
• setuptools, ez_install, distribute
• virtualenv
• pip
• many more pure python apps
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
ez_install
• Get ez_setup.py
• run “jython ez_setup.py”
• In Jython’s bin directory will be an ez_install that runs from Jython
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Install Django
• Get 1.3+ Django - run “jython setup.py install”
• From http://django-jython.googlecode.com get django-jython-1.3.tar.gz, untar it and run “jython setup.py install”
• see the django-jython project on googlecode.com for more detail
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Deploy Django
• run “jython manage.py war --include-java-libs=jdbcdriver.jar”
• This will produce a “war file”
• Copy this war file to the auto-deploy directory for most application servers (like Tomcat, Jetty or Glassfish)
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
war format for doj|-- WEB-INF
| |-- lib | `-- lib-python | |-- Lib | |-- django | |-- doj | `-- mysite `-- media
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Pyramid on Jython
• jython ez_install pyramid
• Note that you should not try to use Chameleon with Jython - use Mako for templates.
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Creating an executable Jar
• Make a copy of jython.jar
• copy Lib/ into jython.jar
• copy a __run__.py file into new jar
• in the future it will be a __main__.py to fit with the new CPython convention as of 2.6/3.0
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Add Jython install stuff to a new jar
$ cd $JYTHON_HOME$ cp jython.jar app.jar$ zip -r app.jar Lib
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Add modules and paths to the jar file
$ cd $MY_APP_DIRECTORY$ zip app.jar *.py# Add path to additional jar file.$ jar ufm myapp.jar othermanifest.mf#Where, othermanifest.mf contains the following:Class-Path: ./otherjar.jar
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Add runner file, and run!
$ zip myapp.jar __run__.py#in 2.7/3.x$ zip myapp.jar __main__.py$ java org.python.util.jython -jar app.jar

Jython 3000
• We already have a Jython 3 branch
• It has a nearly complete parser
• Not much else yet
• Can’t wait to delete old style classes and fake str suppot!
• I’d like to target 3.3 and support only JDK7 or above (maybe even JDK8 if it takes long)
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Jython 3 changes?
• All of the same changes as Python3
• unicode for all strings
• no old style classes
• new metaclass syntax
• many iterators instead of lists
• much more
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Jython specific changes
• Better way to call into Jython? Project Lambda maybe?
• Default to not scan packages?
• Get rid of swing specific helper functions
• Remove Lib gunk
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Jython/CPython collaboration
• Break out the CPython standard Lib into a shared Lib - merge all of Jython’s customizations into CPython Lib
• Share CPython’s 3.3 import implementation
• PEP 420 implicit namespace packages for Java packages
