Hi Jython developers, First off, thanks for your hard work developing Jython! I'm particularly impressed with how easy it is to get working with an existing jar. I was wondering if you would consider a feature request or two: 1. to optionally preserve the case of bean names (eg getShape() -> property/bean "Shape" instead of "shape"). Something like python.options.preserveBeanNames = true (default false of course). 2. To optionally hide the getShape() and setShape() methods when they are identified as/converted to properties. Perhaps python.options.hideGetSetMethods = true (default false). If I use PyIgnoreMethodTag the methods get hidden, but so does the bean/property. :-( The reason for asking is to improve the interoperability between Jython and IronPython. We have a system where a library is usable by both, and the C# uses properties exclusively that start with upper case names. Hence, scripts written for Jython (x.length=4) won't run in IronPython (x.Length=4) and vice versa. We very much want to support Jython, as we use Linux and other non-windows platforms. I understand that the lower-casing of the first letter is a convention, which I respect, but it would be useful to be able to choose. Regarding enhancement #2, users who decide to use the set/get method style of access will find their python non-portable to IronPython, so we want to encourage the property style of usage everywhere, but we can't stop them using the get/set methods without enhancement #2. Many thanks for your time -Roger. (C++, Java, C# and python developer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Announcing the Oxford Dictionaries API!
