Re: [Jython-users] [Jython-dev] Jython 2.2 Beta1

[Leo U. <leo...@ya...>]

Well,  Im not particularly hip to the idea of having
conflicting licenses.  The biggest problem for anyone
trying to take stuff from it is that the new things
are not what I would consider modular.  In the process
of working on them, the unit tests that come with 2.5
expose things that are out of date or never worked
right.  So in other words, the environment has to
evolve as well.

The rewards seem nice though, some of these features
are pretty nice.  From my initial glances at context
managers in 2.5 I wasn't too excited.  But once I got
down into working with them I saw how much they could
simplify things... goodbye try/finally.
