Jython is still in development ?

[nenodias]

I found a mercurial repository https://hg.python.org/jython/
The git repository is not updated?

The Jython 2.7 git repository is a mirror of the repository you denoted. We push to the mercurial repo, which is the official code base and a script frequently mirrors changes to https://github.com/jythontools/jython. Following CPython's path of moving the codebase entirely to github is a todo.

Referring to your headline question, that seems to be a duplicate of #36, where the reasons are explained, i.e. there is currently no active funding of Jython and devs can only spend their personal time on the project. That is apparently not enough to yield significant boosts, but at least a release of Jython 2.7.2 is upcoming. Progress on that is currently most visible on http://bugs.jython.org.

This one is a fork reflecting an attempt to move Python 3. It is stalled because it is unclear how to move forward from here.

Thanks for replies!

Given that Python 2 is being deprecated at the ends at the end of the year, what is the progress on Jython 3?

[BenHerbst]

What should we do now, there is no python 2 support anymore. And pip also doesnt works anymore in jython 2.7.

[jeff5]

I don't know. If you want pip to work with Jython, you could ask pip to mend pip.

I'm pretty sure a Jython 3 is the long-term answer.

Did pip also stop working with CPython 2.7? Is this a pip issue or a PyPI issue?

[stuaxo]

It looks like pip < version 21 should work on CPython 2.7.

I'm being unfair to pip.

Edit: Sorry I just realised this is on the wrong repo, so referring to an issue #97 doesn't work. Even I'm falling for it now *<:-( What I meant was:

See jython/jython#97 for what I learned.
