Thank you. This is a helpful share. Our Jython engine upgrade in the 4.22 release definitely had a compatibility impact. This is rather unavoidable due to the nature of the changes in Jython 2.7 itself. That Jython release prioritized usability and interoperability with Java over backward compatibility. One of the Jython developers admitted as much here: Message 10171 - Jython tracker. As he said, “I assure you that this is not the only backwards incompatible change in the latest Jython.” The various breaking changes in Jython 2.7 are probably mentioned in various tickets and Stackoverflow posts, but we can find no comprehensive list of such incompatibilities in release notes or the like. Your post here is a useful addendum to our documentation on this issue. I’ll suggest to our Doc team that they consider integrating this content into our documentation.
