I know Jython converts Python code into Java byte code, but are there any syntax changes between the two? and as a side question is Jython 3.x usable yet or is it still being ported?

Syntax changes? Not any intentional ones. Jython has recently released the alpha version of 2.7. It's likely it will be a while before a 3.x version will be released.Joel Cornett– Joel Cornett2012-06-12 00:26:44 +00:00Commented Jun 12, 2012 at 0:26

- Multi-platform
- Compiles to .pyc
- Extend with C
- GIL 1*
- Python Garbage Collection
1*. Global Interpreter Lock, explained in Documentation Python documentation, chapter 8.1 (1)
Jython
- 100% Java
- Any JVM (currently 1.1+)
- Compiles to .class
- Extend with Java
- Truly multi-threaded
- Java garbage collection

Question was for syntax differences.
Jython is an implementation of the Python language. It is not a different language at all.
According to the Jython website, the latest stable version is currently 2.5.3b1, and the latest development version is 2.7a2. As far as I know, no one is currently working on an 3.x-compatible version of Jython.

There are 3 major implementations available for Python language. Jython is a java implementation, Cython is C implementation and IronPython is c# implementation. As far as Python language syntax is concerned, it remains consistent in all implementations. Regarding the last part of your question, I dont think Jython version 3.x is released or in use yet, probably you meant python 3.x - if so, yes it is.
