While I'd agree Python 2.5 to 2.7 doesn't bring a swath of language features with it... it's a good sign of Jython's slowing/sluggish growth/development.

Personally, I want to use a language implementation that will be around and (well!) supported for many years.

None of you three mentioned Python 3.0 to 3.2.

That's because they don't matter to anyone.

It seems common that people don't upgrade to a breaking version of a programming language based on name or distro channel alone. Hence the slow uptake of Python 3 and Perl 6.
