[Jython-dev] Second alpha release of Jython-2.0

[<bc...@wo...>]

Jython-2.0a2 is now available. 

  http://jython.sourceforge.net/index.html

Install as with Jython-2.0a1. I don't intend to announce this any 
more widely than these lists for now.

The release includes some bug fixes as well as a few but crucial 
new features.

  New features:
    - Added -v (verbose) option to jython command. It will trace
      import statements. Use three -v's for maximum information.
    - A redesigned of the internal java class handling. The new
      design allow for a pluggable javaclass -> PyJavaClass handling.
      Included are plugins that use weak or soft references.
    - Use a SecureClassLoader for loading compiled python modules.
      This should allow jython to be used with the java plugin and
      its fine grained security.

  CPython-2.0 compatibility
    - Added support for formatting of long values in "%d %x %X %o".
      The support does not match CPython2.0 exactly, but matches
      what CPython2.1 will do.
    - The \x escape will only eat two hex characters and will 
      always create a character with values < 256. Use the \u
      escape for high-byte values.
    - A ucnhash module to support the \N{name} escape.


Take a look at the NEWS file for more information about the differences.

I'm having major trouble downloading this.  It's proceeding at
an absolutely glacial pace, and each of my four first attempts
in the last 24 hours aborted without downloading the whole file
(in a way that I couldn't restart the download).

So far, the counter on the download page shows 0 successful
downloads of alpha-2.  Is SourceForge going south on us (again)?

I just tried it, and it came across in 1 minute and 22 seconds.  Very
bursty, though, and for a while after the first 200Kb I thought it had
frozen.

SF is running on different hardware today than it was on Friday -- they just
did a massive upgrade.  Lots of little things have indeed been flaky since
that started.  Don't know what else to say about your download woes.

As of b2 the installer is still producing a bad jython.bat
file on Windows systems.  It's not respecting the rule (for
bat files) that all components of the path have to be 8 chars
or less, so if your Java is under "Program Files" that piece
needs to look like "Progra~1".

SourceForge doesn't like me...downloads are a disaster and
posting bugs is no better so I'm sending it here.

Or enclosed in quotation marks- the other rule :)
I only mention this because I have a preference for seeing the
full path in quotes.  As someone who uses Windows only rarely, I
find this duality silly when quotes allow the perceived path and
functional path to be the same.  Or maybe I'm just easily confused :)

I would rather use quotes (aussming Robert is correct that it works
too). The remaining path which isn't fully quoted is the path to the
java.exe. Does the script work for you, if you edit jython.bat and adds
doublequotes around the path to java.exe? In my installation it becomes:

"I:\JAVA\JDK1.3\jre\bin\java.exe" "-Dpython.home...

If that is enough, I will add it to alpha 3. Let me know.

I think that it is just some transition pains. Lets hope it all
straigthen itself out within a short period of time.

Yes.  Didn't know that...this way is definitely preferred.
