David Handermann commented on NIFI-5821:
----------------------------------------
The {{ScriptingComponentHelper}} drives the list of supported languages using
the {{java.script.ScriptEngineFactory.getLanguageName()}} method. This could
be adjusted to use an optional lookup map with a label that is different from
the underlying language name returned from ScriptEngineFactory.
> ExecuteScript should say Python is really Jython running

> ExecuteScript drop-down should say "jython" or "Python (jython)" ...
> Something to indicate it is running jython.
> Code executed in the ExecuteScript processor, when Python is selected, is
> actually running as Jython. This should be made far more clear on the UI as
> a user is selecting the Script Language. The only place python is made
> reference to is in the tags for the processor, which also makes reference to
> python.
> Jython datetime.datetime is not handled the same way that Python
> datetime.datetime is because of mapping datetime back to Java objects in
> Jython. This can cause plenty of issues, and cause Python code to need to be
> modified to jython supported code.
