Jython in Action
Abstract
This presentation will be all about using Jython, from a number of perspectives. These include:
- Developing web applications in Jython using a Python web framework such as Django, and deploying it in a range of Java application servers.
- Available development environments for Jython (and Python in general), what features they provide, and how to use them.
- Integration with Java. How to utilize Java libraries from Jython and how to integrate with Jython from Java.
- Concurrency in Jython. One of the points where Jython has a major advantage over the standard C implementation of Python. Also one of the most recent focuses of the Jython team, since we have decided to make an effort to make it easier to write concurrent programs in Jython than Java.
- Performance figures of Jython, in comparison with the standard C implementation of Python as well as Java. Hopefully including a sneak peek of some performance tuning options available in future versions of Jython with accompanying figures.
All of these topics will be covered by a richness in demonstrations and examples.
Furthermore the presentation will cover the features of the upcoming release of Jython 2.5 that is now in feature freeze. We will also talk about the road map for the future development of Jython after the 2.5 release.
