Django on Jython
summary
Google Summer of Code project ports Django to Jython and ships a Jython 2.5 Alpha 2 installer while running the CPython regression suite with 99.4% pass (about 30 failing tests remaining). The runtime shows 20% faster on pyStone in spots, uses zxJDBC for DB access and a WAR packaging command that bundles Django, libs and media. A Postgres JDBC backend is implemented in roughly 120 lines, many Django features pass, PIL and a few backends still need work.
