[Jython-users] no popitem in jython 2.0

[Mark R. <blo...@ho...>]

I am currently in the process of converting an application I wrote in
python to jython, so I can use swing for a GUI.

As far as GUI side goes so, excellent stuff, consider
my socks impressed off my feet.

However, there seem to be a number of python functionality,
that is missing in jython. Earlier today I realised I could
no longer use the os.chdir() method, and I have just noticed
that popitem() is not supported for dictionary objects (at
least in version 2.0, which was the latest stable release as
far as I can see)

Can anyone tell me if this is just a work in progress situation,
and these features are just waiting to added or if they haven't
been added for some particular reason.

Secondly, can anyone tell me if there are any other issues I may
have with code breakage moving from python2.1 to jython2.0?

Please don't get the wrong idea here, I think jython is wonderful
to use, and has saved me hours of work already ;), I am just trying
to evaluate just how much the differences are going to affect me.

cheers
Blobby
