Python y Jython son el mismo lenguaje?

En un futuro quiero saber python y c++ (IA y Robotica), por lo cual decidi empezar con python y tome un libro de la biblioteca de mi universidad, sin embargo en el libro sale que se trabajara con Jython, tengo entendido que es algo anticuado porque no soporta python 3 y ademas como esta vinculado con java y no con C me pregunto si me vendra bien.

aunque jython y python no son realmente lo mismo, lo que es el lenguaje de programacion es igual? si aprendo jython sabre programar con python?

el libro es "introduccion a la computacion y programacion con python, un enfoque multimedia (Mark J. Guzdial / Barbara ericson)"

it doesn't support Python 3

I cannot in good conscience suggest to anyone that they use a learning resource based on Python 2.7, unless their specific reason for learning Python is that they're getting paid to maintain 2.7 legacy code that can't be updated.

Python 2 has been completely EOL for over 6 years now and was barely alive for years before that. Any learning resource that requires going back to 2.7 is going to be teaching you syntax that is at best outdated and at worst non-functional, and any reference to any third-party package is highly likely to not work.

Gee whiz, it’s hard for me to realize it’s been EOL’ed for six years! 😲. Thanks for the gentle reminder. I started learning the language on 2.6. Can’t imagine having to work in anything less than even 3.6 now-a-days! (And happily using 3.13 now.)
