>>> print ‘NetBeans + Python = NBPython Project’
by koberoi on Jul.08, 2008, under NetBeans
Today at EuroPython 2008, Ted Leung (Dynamic Languages & Tools Architect at Sun) and Frank Wierzbicki (Jython Project Lead working at Sun) announced that the NetBeans IDE will be supporting Python and Jython in future releases. The latest release, NetBeans IDE 6.1, is already multilingual- supporting Java, C/C++, JavaScript, and Ruby/JRuby. In addition, the latest milestone build, NetBeans 6.5 M1, features support for PHP developers.
Python is not new to Sun- with a long history of use, including with the new Image Packaging System (IPS) utilized in OpenSolaris OS. Python is available, today, for OpenSolaris 2008.05 via its pkg.opensolaris.org repository and in Cool Stack for Solaris 10 systems. With our recent history of engagement with the Ruby/JRuby and Rails communities, we look forward in increasing our participation in the Python communities.
At the core of the effort to bring Python/Jython support to the NetBeans IDE, is the formation of the NBPython Project, led by community member Allan Davis. For developers wishing to contribute, sign up for the development mailing list.
In addition, the Sun Developer Network (SDN) is also launching the Python Developer Center and is planning to feature Python/Jython technologies in future Sun Tech Days events, a 15-city world tour designed to educate developers in local markets on various technologies.
