The Jython development team is pleased to announce that Jython 2.2rc3 is available for download: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/jython/jython_installer-2.2rc3.jar See http://jython.org/Project/installation.html for installation instructions. A few new pieces of functionality have been added since 2.2rc2: - Added telnetlib from CPython - Added cpython_compatible_select to select. See http://wiki.python.org/jython/SelectModule for information on when to use it. - Several more java.nio exceptions are mapped to their corresponding Python error codes when thrown. The following bugs are also fixed in this release: - recv on closed sockets threw an exception instead returning the empty string - A PySystemState being garbage collected caused System.out and System.in to be closed. This would cause 'print' to stop working. - Closing a FileWrapper on a socket closes its underlying socket - Sockets just have their [In|Out]putStreams closed instead of being properly shutdown by shutdown() - SO_REUSEADDR is reset on sockets from a server socket's accept call causing later binds to the server socket's port to fail. - Client sockets that have bind called before connect don't respect SO_REUSEADDR - execfile() throws a NullPointerException in the interactive console Enjoy!
