[04:31:39] <jimbaker> dstufft, we released final beta 4 for jython 2.7.0. the remaining piece is getting windows working well. and the remaining piece there is pip support. any chance you know how wrapper exe scripts work for windows?
[04:35:03] <jimbaker> from what i can tell, it seems that with a minor modification to pip's vendor distlib, i can get a proper exe wrapper written, such that it points to a jython.exe generated by pyinstaller. (yes, the new jython launcher uses cpython.). but i believe this wrapper must be taking advantage of some sort of skip unreadable bytes that cpython supports until it gets to an encoding declaration for PEP 263
[04:35:27] <jimbaker> but just a hypothesis here. hoping to avoid reading that part of the cpython code base :)
