Jython: Python for the Java Platform

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Copyright © Corporation for National Research Initiatives

Jim Hugunin invented JPython and was the primary developer while he was at CNRI. In February 1999, Jim left CNRI for sunny California and Barry Warsaw became the primary maintainer. When Barry and the rest of PythonLabs left CNRI, Barry renamed JPython to Jython, put the sources on SourceForge and made Finn Bock the primary maintainer.

Python's inventor Guido van Rossum and the rest of PythonLabs continues to help and support Jython by their understanding of how Jython must live with the limits of Java.

You can contact the Jython maintainers directly via jython-dev@lists.sourceforge.net, or the Jython community at jython-users@lists.sourceforge.net.

Harry Mantakos contributed the underlying md5 implementation.

The SHA1 implementation is taken from cryptix.

Samuele Pedroni has designed and implemented the improved PackageManagers and java reload support and also fixed a lot of bugs.

Kevin Butler has written and contributed the code for os.environ and os.system().

Brian Zimmer contributed zxJDBC which is a Python DB API subsystem.

Cyrille Morvan has written the code for the Jythonc ant task.

Alan Kennedy contributed modjy, which bridges WSGI to the Servlet API

Chris Gokey, David Syer and Finn Bock added PyServlet.
