Any Jython users out there? Please speak up!

[Miro Hrončok]

Hello Fedora users.

I am one of the Fedora's Python maintainers.
One of the several Python implementations we have in Fedora is Jython:

https://www.jython.org/

It has just been removed from Fedora Rawhide (Fedora 35+) because nobody 
volunteered to maintain it. I'd like to know if we have some users who will be 
negatively impacted by Jython removal, so I can work with them to find a solution.

Being a Pythonista myself, I don't know any Jython users running Fedora. If you 
use Jython on Fedora, please let me know how you install Jython: If it is from 
the Fedora package or from elsewhere, e.g. trough maven or downloading the 
installer from jython.org, or something entirely different.

Thanks,

[James Szinger]

My only encounter with Jython has been as the scripting extension for
JMRI.  Removing Jython from Fedora will have no effect since JMRI
bundles its own copy.
