I have used Jython on-and-off since it went by the name JPython. There was a period during which I feared, like others, that Jython (and thus Python for the Java platform) was doomed to stagnation and a slow death. Thankfully, this great programming tool has been resurrected in the last year and brought on a par with the current mainstream CPython 2.5.x production version. This has made it possible to bring the use of many powerful pure Python libraries and frameworks to the Java run-time world.



All that was missing was the cherry on the cake, a definitive book on the subject. And this volume provides just that. It gives well-rounded coverage of the multitude of areas where the application of Jython is now possible.



I personally found the section on "Using Jython Within Java Applications" very enlightening for a small project I was working on as well as for its approach on implementing Java Object Factories in general.



The open source version of this book is available at [...]. However, nothing beats keeping the hard-copy handy for convenience or commuter reading.
