Subject: GSoC Final Report: Django on Jython
To: JythonDevelopers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Looks like many people already know about my SoC results. But I wanted
to "officially" finish the SoC reports.

Django works on Jython without special patching. The tutorial can be
followed without any problems. And Django projects are extremely easy
to deploy on a Java Application Server, thanks to modjy. I'd even say
that deploying Django/Jython on Java appservers is easiest than
Django/CPython on apache/fastcgi/whatever.

On the test suite, I wasn't able to fix all of the failures. Django
developers did a great job on the testing front, growing from ~200
tests when I started the SoC to more than 400 now. That's a good
thing, as it made possible to spot some bugs on Jython, but it makes
the task of having fully passing test suite a bit more difficult. By
the end of the SoC coding period, we had 92% of Django tests passing.
A good number anyway, but should be improved.

There is also more work to do on the DB-backends front[1]. I think
that we may be able to easy the deployment of projects which mix
Django/Jython and Java code.

I'm not disappearing now. I want to continue coding and growing the
support of Django on Jython. That's why I've started the django-jython
project[2]. By now, it doesn't have a separate mailing list, since I
don't see why it should. I think we should keep the Django/Jython
usage discussions on the jython-users list.

Also, I'm now a Jython developer, and have a lot of pending tasks to
do on the Jython front which were motivated by my work on Django
integration. I won't have as much time as I had before, but I expect
to be hanging around here for a long time.

Thanks to everyone which helped me on this great experience!
