    a b Running Django on Jython  
    44
    55.. index:: Jython, Java, JVM
    66
    7 Jython_ is an implementation of Python that runs on the Java platform (JVM).
    8 Django runs cleanly on Jython version 2.5 or later, which means you can deploy
    9 Django on any Java platform.
     7As of January 2014, the latest release of `django-jython`_ supports Django 1.3
     8which is no longer supported (receiving fixes or security updates) by the
     9Django Project. We therefore recommend that you do not try to run Django on
     10Jython at this time.
    1011
    11 This document will get you up and running with Django on top of Jython.

    15 Installing Jython
    16 =================
    17 
    18 Django works with Jython versions 2.5b3 and higher. Download Jython at
    19 http://www.jython.org/.
    20 
    21 Creating a servlet container
    22 ============================
    23 
    24 If you just want to experiment with Django, skip ahead to the next section;
    25 Django includes a lightweight Web server you can use for testing, so you won't
    26 need to set up anything else until you're ready to deploy Django in production.
    27 
    28 If you want to use Django on a production site, use a Java servlet container,
    29 such as `Apache Tomcat`_. Full JavaEE applications servers such as `GlassFish`_
    30 or `JBoss`_ are also OK, if you need the extra features they include.

    36 Installing Django
    37 =================
    38 
    39 The next step is to install Django itself. This is exactly the same as
    40 installing Django on standard Python, so see
    41 :ref:`removing-old-versions-of-django` and :ref:`install-django-code` for
    42 instructions.
    43 
    44 Installing Jython platform support libraries
    45 ============================================
    46 
    47 The `django-jython`_ project contains database backends and management commands
    48 for Django/Jython development. Note that the builtin Django backends won't work
    49 on top of Jython.
     12The django-jython project is `seeking contributors`_ to help update its code for
     13newer versions of Django. You can select an older version of this documentation
     14to see the instructions we had for using Django with Jython. If django-jython
     15is updated and please `file a ticket`_ and we'll be happy to update our
     16documentation accordingly.

    52 
    53 To install it, follow the `installation instructions`_ detailed on the project
    54 Web site. Also, read the `database backends`_ documentation there.

    59 Differences with Django on Jython
    60 =================================
    61 
    62 .. index:: JYTHONPATH
    63 
    64 At this point, Django on Jython should behave nearly identically to Django
    65 running on standard Python. However, are a few differences to keep in mind:
    66 
    67 * Remember to use the ``jython`` command instead of ``python``. The
    68   documentation uses ``python`` for consistency, but if you're using Jython
    69   you'll want to mentally replace ``python`` with ``jython`` every time it
    70   occurs.
    71 
    72 * Similarly, you'll need to use the ``JYTHONPATH`` environment variable
    73   instead of ``PYTHONPATH``.
