| ### JBang support for running Jython (September 2026) | ||
|
|
||
| Until very recently, Jython releases had to be downloaded and installed locally before they could be used. A JBang wrapper for Jython is now available that allows Jython scripts to be executed without first installing Jython. | ||
|
|
||
| * jbang run jython-cli@jython | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment. This syntax produces a bullet list I think. You probably mean this as quoted code. For examples look to https://github.com/jython/jython.github.io/blob/master/installation.md . |
||
|
|
||
| Jython can also be installed as a local application using the following command: | ||
|
|
||
| * jbang install app jython-cli@jython | ||
|
|
||
| To run or install a specific version of Jython add `-Djbang.jython.version=<version>` to the command, e.g. `jbang run -Djbang.jython.version=2.7.4 jython-cli@jython` or `jbang install app -Djbang.jython.version=2.7.4 jython-cli@jython`. | ||

||
| ### Jython 2.7.5 beta (v2.7.5b1 August 2026) | ||
|
|
||
| A beta release is now available for Jython 2.7.5 at [Maven Central](https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.python). | ||

Suggest your first mention of JBang could usefully be a link to the JBang site, since there is an installation step before what you show us will work.
