I contribute to an open source project that has had an embedded jython interpreter included for a number of years.

We recently started adding cucumber tests to our test suite, and I was excited to discover we could use jython to write step definitions.

My hope is to enable users who don't know java, but have been coding in jython for a few years, to add to our test suite. Many of these users are not programmers by training, and only know what they have taught themselves. In an effort to reduce the learning curve for these users, I am trying to figure out if it is possible to 1) trigger cucumber from inside the application itself 2) have the scripts run inside our existing jython interpreter.

I do have Maven, ant, and our JUnit test suite configured to run the small set of features with java step definitions and separately run features with jython step definitions, but I am trying to avoid forcing everyone who wants to tinker with cucumber from installing a development environment.

We haven't had the time, or expertise to keep to the Jython implementation up to date. So we're looking for one or more new maintainers. The tasks are roughly:

• Code! Scratch your own itch
• Keep dependencies uptodate
• Respond to GitHub issues/PRs in a timely manner
• Keep the CHANGELOG uptodate
• Make releases (Create git tags, update CHANGELOG)
• Keep the documentation uptodate
• Make the code habitable for new users and contributors
• Keep the CI running
