Yeah I know... but I've been subscribing to jython-dev for quite sometime, and the activity there is surely picking up compared to, say, early 2006. Jython has new committers on board as well so that's encouraging. > But maybe we shouldn't worry because we can > still read: > > "Jython, lest you do not know of it, is the most compelling weapon the > Java platform has for its survival into the 21st century:-)" :( > > But yeah, compared to IronPython > > (2.4 compliant, halfway to 2.5 even), it's pretty behind.

At least for my case I will use IronPython for higher level task, and perhaps calls libraries written in C# instead of the other way around, plus you can leave your module as scripts anyway. If what you want from C# is accessing Python's power then you can always host the IronPython engine can't you? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
