Alexander, David, and John,
I am a developer on the Dogtag project (see
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dogtag) and am currently one of the
engineers that are re-writing the installation/configuration framework
in Python 2.7. Since a large part of Dogtag 10 is written in Java 1.7,
we are currently using the existing "Jython 2.2" that exists in Fedora
16/17 as a bridge to a new Java configuration servlet (Python 2.7 -->
Jython 2.2 --> Java 1.7).
I have recently seen on the web that a project has been funded for the
creation of Jython 2.7 (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jython) which
would allow us to potentially run our Python 2.7
installation/configuration code as a single Jython 2.7 process, instead.
I am writing to you regarding the current availability of "Jython 2.2"
in Fedora, and would like to inquire about the potential future
availability of "Jython 2.7" in Fedora (or even "jython 2.5" since it
at
least contains the "logging" mechanism).
Are any of you aware of any plans in Fedora to move from Jython 2.2 to
Jython 2.7 once it becomes available?
If so, would any of you be aware of any timeframe for adoption by Fedora?
Thanks in advance,
-- Matt
