Jython_ is an implementation of Python that runs on the Java platform (JVM).
|
As of January 2014, the latest release of `django-jython`_ supports Django 1.3
|
||||||
Django runs cleanly on Jython version 2.5 or later, which means you can deploy
|
which is no longer supported (receiving fixes or security updates) by the
|
||||||
Django on any Java platform.
|
Django Project. We therefore recommend that you do not try to run Django on
|
||||||
|
Jython at this time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This document will get you up and running with Django on top of Jython.
|
The django-jython project is `seeking contributors`_ to help update its code for
|
||||||
|
newer versions of Django. You can select an older version of this documentation
|
||||||
.. _jython: http://www.jython.org/
|
to see the instructions we had for using Django with Jython. If django-jython
|
||||||
|
is updated and please `file a ticket`_ and we'll be happy to update our
|
||||||
Installing Jython
|
documentation accordingly.
|
||||||
=================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Django works with Jython versions 2.5b3 and higher. Download Jython at
|
|
||||||
http://www.jython.org/.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Creating a servlet container
|
|
||||||
============================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you just want to experiment with Django, skip ahead to the next section;
|
|
||||||
Django includes a lightweight Web server you can use for testing, so you won't
|
|
||||||
need to set up anything else until you're ready to deploy Django in production.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you want to use Django on a production site, use a Java servlet container,
|
|
||||||
such as `Apache Tomcat`_. Full JavaEE applications servers such as `GlassFish`_
|
|
||||||
or `JBoss`_ are also OK, if you need the extra features they include.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. _`Apache Tomcat`: http://tomcat.apache.org/
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Installing Django
|
|
||||||
=================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The next step is to install Django itself. This is exactly the same as
|
|
||||||
installing Django on standard Python, so see
|
|
||||||
:ref:`removing-old-versions-of-django` and :ref:`install-django-code` for
|
|
||||||
instructions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Installing Jython platform support libraries
|
|
||||||
============================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The `django-jython`_ project contains database backends and management commands
|
|
||||||
for Django/Jython development. Note that the builtin Django backends won't work
|
|
||||||
on top of Jython.

|
||||||
|
.. _`seeking contributors`: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-jython-dev/oZpKucQpz7I/discussion
|
||||||
To install it, follow the `installation instructions`_ detailed on the project
|
.. _`file a ticket`: https://code.djangoproject.com/newticket
|
||||||
Web site. Also, read the `database backends`_ documentation there.

Differences with Django on Jython
|
|
||||||
=================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.. index:: JYTHONPATH
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
At this point, Django on Jython should behave nearly identically to Django
|
|
||||||
running on standard Python. However, are a few differences to keep in mind:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Remember to use the ``jython`` command instead of ``python``. The
|
|
||||||
documentation uses ``python`` for consistency, but if you're using Jython
|
|
||||||
you'll want to mentally replace ``python`` with ``jython`` every time it
|
|
||||||
occurs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Similarly, you'll need to use the ``JYTHONPATH`` environment variable
|
|
||||||
instead of ``PYTHONPATH``.
