Remove compatibility Jython code #99482
Comments
|
PyPy has patches on top of CPython stdlib. They fork the stdlib. I would prefer to avoid "downstream patches", but I don't recall any attempt from PyPy to merge these changes in CPython upstream. IMO it's ok if Jython also has "downstream patches" on top of CPython stdlib. I expect that they need a few changes to better integrate the stdlib with Jython, optimize the code, give access to Jython features, etc. Sadly yes, Jython seems inactive and I also would prefer to not continue maintaining code which is specific to Jython if nobody recalls where it comes from, if it's not tested, etc. |

There's also https://docs.python.org/3/library/platform.html#java-platform But, this can be deprecated after further usage analysis. |

There are several places where some Jython-specific hacks are used. For example, there are imports from
com.python.corewhich is a third-party library.They are untested and undocumented.
Right now Jython is stuck with 2.7
I think, we don't have to keep it: eventually Jython can patch it on their side, since all parts are pure-Python code.
Original issue on Jython's repo: jython/jython#217
I think we should leave this open for some time (1 month?) to let Jython's team to comment on this.
