[Jython-dev] Jython 2.1a3 on j2sdk1.4.0beta

[john c. <joh...@ya...>]

I've been running Jython on j2sdk1.4.0beta.  Haven't
had any issues yet.  Been writing an Acquisition
Implicit module (in Jython, 30 lines of code).  Next
is to use the nio modules to create a medusa of sorts.

I would really like to rewrite Zope to run on Java
since java has true threads and a bunch of third party
software (an really cool one that comes to mind EOF). 
I have a feeling that a Zope on Java would be far more
appealing to consumers since now a whole universe of
software is available  Java and Jython have a
wonderful interchangebly which is quite amazing.

(another question which doesn't belong here)
I would also like to change Zope such that it uses
generators.  The problem we are (or will be) running
into is the large process size of the ZServers. 
Basically, every time one uses objectValues() the
entire contents of the directory is loaded into memory
and values placed into a list.  I would like to skip
zope 2.4.0 based on python 2.1 and go directly to
2.2a1 so that I could start this migration.  The
content management system will be pushing Zope to it
limits.  Use of memory has been rather cavalier in
Zope world cause we think it is cheap and plentiful. 
However, reading 200,000 bulky objects into memory
(magnified by 1000 users) is not ideal behavior when
an iterator could be used instead and retrieve only
one object at a time.

Any thoughts or comments, please contact me.
