Jeff,
OK thanks... have also found a Gradle Jython plugin at Gradle - Plugin: com.github.rzabini.gradle-jython

 Mike: Thanks for your encouragement.
  I think it's an oversight that jython.org still shows 2.7.0 as the current version. See http://fwierzbicki.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/jython-271-final-released.html . A concurrency bug emerged in 2.7.1, which is the only good reason I know not to promote it, and in other ways it is a desirable upgrade.
  1) For what's happening in development jython-dev mailing list would be your best bet. 

 2) Ambition often outruns our ability to contribute. We aim for a 2.7.2 in the New Year, and I tagged 2.7.2a in the code base without remembering Jim's ambition to support Gradle in that release specifically. I've looked at Gradle (at the time of Jim's post I think) but have not used it myself, so am not well-placed to contribute on it.

 github.com/jythontools/jython simply tracks the official repository at hg.python.org/jython, to which we push all new work.

 We are preparing to move to a workflow based at GitHub. That would include mastering the website jython.org from GitHub, making fixing oversights a team game.

  Hi, 
  Jython is my favourite language but it's not exactly mainstream. Looking at the decline in the number of postings to this group I was getting the impression that interest has been declining since 2007. 
  At jython.org the latest reference there is to 2.7.0, May 2015. 
  Imagine my surprise, then, when doing a bit of general searching about using Jython and Gradle, to find this page: github.com/jythontools/jython - said to be "a mirror" of jython.org!

  Here I find that the latest readme was updated a month ago... It's not signed or dated but makes reference to a talk by Jim Baker in 2015.  But the Jython version here is 2.7.2a.  An alpha version... so, for one thing, how come 2.7.1 is not present in beta at jython.org? 
  At bugs.jython.org/issue2182 I also find Jim Baker himself saying in March 2016 that use of Gradle is a "top priority" for 2.7.2. 
  I've always assumed that jython.org was the place to go to find out what's the latest in the language... but I just did a search for "gradle" there and nothing came up: one's impression at that site, presumably intended to be the home of all things Jython, is that nothing at all has happened to the language  since 2015. 
  So two questions: 
  1) where's the best URL to bookmark to keep up with the latest in what the developers are doing (is it maybe github?) 2) is there an idiot's guide anywhere to using 2.7.2a with Gradle?

  Thanks ... and keep up the good work! Mike
