and what would be the advantage? I mean why not just use python?


A TestMaker user asked me if wxPython would run on Jython. wxPython is a
very cool library for building GUI applications in Python. Unfortunately
wxPython uses a C++ library. One of the wxPython developers wrote that they
had kicked around the idea of using Jython/Swing to deliver a Jython version
of wxPython. I'm wondering if anyone on this list is interest in
contributing to such a project?

No, wxPython requires a C++ library called wxWindows.  Without it there
is no wxPython.  OTOH, it was suggested a couple years ago that it would
be real cool to reimplement the wxPython API using Jython/swing, but
nothing has ever come of that.

Yes, we're working on it.
