On Google App Engine, Google's cloud computing platform, developers can officially choose between two languages -- Python and Java -- and both run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

If they've got Python running on the JVM, why aren't they contributing back to Jython (or releasing their own Python->JVM bytecode compiler)?



This is rather unexpected. AFAIK, the Python they have there did not run on top of JVMs.


Where are you getting that quote from? They don't run Python on the JVM.


I think the article has been changed after andreyf quoted it.


article implication (GAE's python support is actually Jython) is incorrect http://jython.xhaus.com/jython-on-google-appengine-why-bothe...
