I agree 100% with the above. I've been using Jython in production for two years now, and it's been rock-solid. A little bit outdated, yes, but you could do a lot worse than Python 2.1, as far as feature set is concerned. (Of course, this is not to discourage the Jython team from coming through with a new stable release. ;) -- .:[ dave benjamin: ramen/[spoomusic.com] ]:. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
