But that page doesn´t say anything specific about Jython 2.7.
I tried googling around "jython" restricting results to the Processing
site, but only got old pages, nothing new or specific about Processing 2.0
and Jython 2.7 support. :-(

The closes I got was this wiki page
https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Changes

Which reads: "At the right-hand side of the editor window is a drop-down
menu that allows you to choose between "Java", "Android", and "JavaScript"
mode. Those are the current modes that are being included, though we may
add/remove modes as we head to 2.0 (a Jython mode is lurking about, for
instance. Mmmm! Tempting.) Like Tools and Libraries, it will be possible
for other parties to write their own modes that work inside the PDE."

Not too encouraging to read Jython is "lurking about" but not included.

So, can you clarify if latest builds include such Jython mode, and if so,
can you get in touch with the Processing team and make them -or any other
contributor to the project for that matter- update the Github wiki to
include such info and a specific mention of Jython 2.7?.

I think that if Jython 2.7 support is included it´s excellent news, as you
say, and that the news needs to be spread around loudly!.

Best regards,
