JPython 1.1 beta 1 released
by Barry A. Warsaw June 5, 1999

June 5, 1999

I'm happy to announce the release of JPython 1.1beta1. JPython is the 100% Pure Java implementation of the Python language, which provides seamless integration with the Java platform. JPython 1.1beta1 is compatible with most Java 1.1 and 1.2 JDKs. JPython 1.1beta1 is much improved over the previous public release of version 1.0.3. Many bugs have been fixed, performance has been improved, and most new CPython 1.5.2 features have been implemented. See below for highlights of the changes between 1.1beta1 and 1.0.3. You can download JPython 1.1beta1 from the JPython home page. Please visit http://www.jpython.org/ Much thanks go to Jim Hugunin -- JPython's inventor, Finn Bock -- for his contribution of modules and test driving, Guido, and the rest of the folks at CNRI. Here's a summary of what's changed since 1.0.3: - New and improved jpythonc tool by Jim Hugunin - New modules contributed by Finn Bock: cStringIO, cPickle, struct, binascii - New module synchronize, equivalent to Java's synchronized keyword - Operator module now complete - sys.add_package() no longer necessary, "import java.lang" just works - Class-based standard exceptions (w/ support for -X option) - super__ methods are deprecated, use regular Python style - time.strftime() added - Java 1.2 style collections support - Multiple interpreter states - Most CPython 1.5.2 features have been implemented - String objects now have methods -- expected CPython 1.6 feature - Improved performance - Java inner class support - keywords are allowed in some locations (e.g. as attribute names) - New license - bug fixes Enjoy, -Barry Barry A.

DOPY 0.1 - Distributed Objects for Python
by Michael Muller June 5, 1999

June 5, 1999

Announcement: DOPY 0.1 - Distributed Objects For Python DOPY is a small distributed object system written entirely in Python. It is not intended to be CORBA compliant. Instead, it aims to be extremely easy to use and to support Python's dynamic nature - methods are invoked dynamically, parameters are passed by copy. Any python object that can be pickled can automatically be passed as a parameter or a return value, and any Python object can be published as a distributed object. The current version of DOPY is an extremely immature alpha release. Its only supported protocol is TCP/IP, and you must have thread support to be able to use it (there is a facility for non-threaded use, but it is entirely untested). I've distributed it because others might find it useful (even in its current state) and because I'm interested in the feedback of the Python development community.
