Re: [Jython-users] Jython 3?

[Jeff A. <ja...@fa...>]

Thanks to all who have given their +1s to this. I'm genuinely heartened 
that others think this is still worthwhile.

There is a lot of change to take on between Python 2.7 and any recent 3 
(not just print()), but also it seemed the time to implement the core in 
a more modern way.

There was a time when I just wanted to try these ideas in a corner, in 
case the ideas were all wrong. (I hate wasting others' time.) It looks 
like they aren't *all* wrong. At the moment I'm working to integrate a 
contributed compiler front-end (Python to AST) which endeavor I think 
will drive forward other parts of the core still missing.
