Django, Webservices and Jython

By Ed Taekema in Jython on September 22nd, 2008

The recent DJango 1.0 release adds tons of updated features, but for me the one feature that is most intriguing is its support for Jython.  I think this may be a first for a web framework, and it holds some interesting potential.  One of the first things that comes to mind is that we can now potentially build DJango web apps that consume webservices by combining Jython with java based technologies like Axis.  I’ve been playing with scripting webservices from Django lately and I think this is a really interesting way to build webservices mashups.  More on Jython and webservices soon.

  1. Hi Ed!

    Any news on that so far? Did you ever run Django on Jython? Also do you know if you can run Django inside e.g. Jetty?

    I must admit again, really cool site design!

    Cheers, Roman

  2. @Roman -
    I haven’t been able to work on this for a time now … Have you seen made any progress on it?

  3. No, I didn’t follow the news, just thought about it recently. Since I read about this the first time here – I’ll do some google research and keep you up
