Future of Jython now Python 2 support ended - Wattletree - Mar-19-2020

Hi,
I am a relative newcomer to Python, by way of Robot Framework.

I have to write RF scripts to test a Java Swing application. I am therefore using SwingLibrary in my RF scripts.

SwingLibrary needs Jython to run and it seems Jython is only Python 2 compatible.

My installation is now telling me Python 2 support has ended and to upgrade to Python 3.

What is the future for Jython? From what I've read, it could be a very long time before it is Python 3 compatible.

Thanking you,

Hello,

you should probably contact the authors of jython: https://www.jython.org/ and ask them.
You may get an answer here, but probably a quicker one there.
