[Jython-users] Jython sprint, 25th and 26th of November, Düsseldorf, Germany

[Stefan R. <Ste...@gm...>]

Dear Jython developers and users,

Next weekend is another Python sprint by "Python Meeting Düsseldorf", https://www.meetup.com/Python-Meeting-Dusseldorf/events/243737124/. (25th and 26th of November in Düsseldorf, Germany)
I'll be offering a sprint on Jython there. More specifically I hope we can look into merging Jython 2.7 trunk and Jython 3 sandbox.
I'm aware that hardly anyone from this list can make it there in person (if so, even better!), but please feel encouraged to participate remotely via Jython's IRC-channel irc://irc.freenode.net/#jython. We will be online there 11.00-17.30 CET each day (and hopefully fill it with more activity than usual).

Potential topics include:

Using Jython:
- Jython basics / getting started
- Python/Java integration (e.g. calling Java from Python and vice versa)
- scripting Java with Jython
- GUI with JavaFX in Python

Developing Jython:
- Jython internals / getting started
- Bugfixes in Jython core - Can we fix some actual bugs?
(I will especially look into current release blockers http://bugs.jython.org/issue2487 and http://bugs.jython.org/issue2570)
- Merging Jython 2.7 trunk and Jython 3 sandbox

Experimental stuff (What is already workable? Let's try!):
- JyNI (e.g. NumPy, ctypes)
- Jython 3

Individual stuff:
- You have some project or usecase for Jython and need advice?
- There is some specific gap keeping you from using Jython? -- Maybe we can fix it or work around.
-- Maybe even if it involves a C-Extension (let's tweak JyNI)

Looking forward to work with you!

-Stefan
