We thought 2017-07-01 was a perfect time to release version 2.7.1 This is a bugfix release. Bug fixes include improvements in SSL and pip support along with lots of improvements in CPython compatibility.

Please see the NEWS file for detailed release notes. This release of Jython requires JDK 7 or above.

This release is being hosted at maven central. There are three main distributions. In order of popularity:

• Most likely, you want the traditional installer. NOTE: the installer automatically installs pip and setuptools (unless you uncheck that option), but you must unset JYTHON_HOME if you have it set.
• A pre-built standalone version.
• • A source only distribution.
