+### JBang support for running Jython (September 2026)
+
+Until very recently, Jython releases had to be downloaded and installed locally before they could be used. A JBang wrapper for Jython is now available that allows Jython scripts to be executed without first installing Jython.
+
+* jbang run jython-cli@jython
+
+Jython can also be installed as a local application using the following command:
+
+* jbang install app jython-cli@jython
+
+To run or install a specific version of Jython add `-Djbang.jython.version=<version>` to the command, e.g. `jbang run -Djbang.jython.version=2.7.4 jython-cli@jython` or `jbang install app -Djbang.jython.version=2.7.4 jython-cli@jython`.
