Re: [Jython-users] Compatibility problems Jython vs Python

[Paul D. <pau...@gm...>]

The highest version of jython right now is 2.2 which corresponds to Cpython
2.2, so best case you wouldn't expect to find 2.4 libs.

Unfortunately and understandably even for the same version not all of the
python libs which were  implemented in C have been ported.

A partial list of some of the issues facing jython is at

http://www.jython.org/docs/differences.html

The long and the short of it is that jython is an incredibly cool tool for
working with java libraries but as of yet it does not have a full
implementation of all the standard python libraries.
