Jython Podcast Site Ready
I finished the preliminary Jython Podcast website last week and I thought that it would be a good idea to release it to the world for your thoughts and opinions. I wanted to create and deploy the website as a Django site running on Jython. However, as it turns out I am unable to deploy a Django on Jython site to a server running on JDK 1.5 (at least I haven't figured out how to do it as yet). Therefore, I have had to postpone the deployment of the Django site until I can upgrade to JDK 1.6.
It is my plan to begin the podcast with an episode near the end of December. Hopefully once I get the first episode released, iTunes will not have any problems updating to include it.
Check out the Jython Podcast site here. I also would like to thank HostJava.net for providing the domain name and sponsoring the podcast.

Jython CLASSPATH
I ran into a small issue this past weekend while doing some Django development with Jython 2.5 b0. The Django scripts appeared to be running correctly until I attempted to synchronize with the database using:
jython manage.py syncdb
Each time I tried to run this against my Postgresql backend I was receiving an error stating that "org.postgresql.Driver" could not be found. In reality, that driver was already in my Jython CLASSPATH because it is installed by default when Django is set up.
The issue may be that I have too many Jython installations on my Mac now, but nonetheless, it is easy to work around. I still have not found the complete solution as yet, but as long as the "--verify" argument is passed along with the "syncdb" call then everything works out well. This is because the verify argument forces the CLASSPATH to be parsed at runtime. While the --verify argument makes it take a second or two longer to run, it should resolve issues where the CLASSPATH is not being parsed as it should.
Workaround solution:
jython --verify manage.py syncdb
jython manage.py syncdb
