Re: developing an IDE for jython

Hi Yaqiang,

this looks like really useful work. Thank-you for sharing it. I had 
thought of attempting a numjy myself, but I have my hands full with the 
Jython core.

A good way to distribute your work is through one or more packages a 
user can install in their own Jython site-packages. I see you have 
separate repositories for the parts, and that looks right. These days, 
for pure Python and CPython extensions, people go to PyPI. I don't know 
if that can be made to work for packages with compiled Java components, 
but it would be interesting to try.

The pre-installed approach in jythonlab is perhaps not the best way to 
provide these as a bundle, as it stands. (Anaconda may be a good thing 
to mimic here, but that's a very complex product.) The immediate problem 
is partly GitHub's fault. It presents README.txt as your front page and 
LICENSE.txt as your licence. But these are the Jython ones, and so they 
don't apply to the repo overall. Maybe also look at customisation 
through a modified site.py that announces what one has just launched.
