[Jython-dev] Python 2 End of Support Impact on Jython 2

[Ravneet S. <rav...@al...>]

Hi Team

We are using Jython 2.5.3, and those Jython libraries contains Python files also. Now for any security vulnerability reported in Python 2.X , we had been referring the solution from python.org website and updating those code files in the Jython libraries. Now since Python 2.X is going End Of Life as mentioned by python.org from Jan 2020, then we have few questions here:

  1.  How can we get the security fixes for the security issues/CVEs reported in python 2.X files which are also used in Jython library.
  2.  And, will jython.org would be providing the security fixes for the security issues/CVEs reported in Python 2.X .
  3.  And, when will the Jython 3 corresponding to Python 3.X getting released. Is there any proposed date for the same.

Apart from this, any suggestion from your side for users of Jython 2.X taking in view that Python 2 is going End of Life.

Thanks
Ravneet Singh
