are many new features in Jython 2.5, the intention of this
article is to cover the new additions available with the 2.5
release. The previous release of Jython was 2.2.1, and this
release takes a significant step forward adding language
constructs and features bringing Jython in-line with more
current versions of the CPython implementation. Below is a quick
reference for those new features that have been added to Jython
with the 2.5 release. In the coming weeks, new content will be
added to this article that explains each of the new features in
greater detail. New Features - Quick Look
