[Jython-users] (no subject)

[Joshua F. <jo...@jo...>]

I have had problems when I wrote an EJB in Python, then compiled it with 
jythonc. I think it has to do with the extensive code generation and 
dynamic method calls by the app-server. Other than that, Jython has 
amazingly seamless integration with Java.

As for .NET, Jython is living proof that the JVM can host multiple 
languages, contradicting the MS claim about .NET's superiority over Java in 
providing multi-language support as opposed to Java's alleged one-language 
support. Jython can run any Python code (if libraries are available ), 
without restriction on syntax, whereas .NET can run only modified versions 
of many languages (I don't know about Python).

Does anyone know the current status of Python .NET? Is it ready for use? 
Can it be tried without buying Visual Studio .NET?
