Rather than removing the document, I would add a note indicating that you must use Django 1.11 if you want to use Jython.

I don't think it's necessary to keep those docs. If we refer to older version of Django to use Jython, users can then refer to that version of the docs to find that document.

Replying to Claude Paroz:

Agreed.

There was previous discussion about this where I gave the opinion that there's little advantage to removing Jython compatibility and documentation because when Jython releases a Python 3 version, we'll have to revert that commit and issue a new release to restore compatibility. At least if we leave things the way they are, there's a chance current Django releases may work with Jython 3.

There's no real traction currently for Jython 3, and that for several years now. Things can change, of course, but even if Jython 3 were to be released, this would probably need a new round of testing and adaptations.

It's not the choice I would make, but I don't have any interest in Jython support and won't veto your decision. I think it's unfortunate to break any external links pointing to the dev version of docs/howto/jython.txt
by removing that page.

I restored docs/howto/jython.txt
with a simple header text. Could you review the wording?

In 830636d:
[2.0.x] Fixed #28594 -- Removed Jython docs and specific code
Thanks Andrey Martyanov for the report, and Tim Graham for the review.
Backport of 23b21db31bfcf2a065d485617412cca43a311a4c from master.
At this point we don't support Jython at all given it's Py2k only.
