I finally set up a Fedora 22 system with a very recent Java 8:

[jbaker@spear ~]$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_60"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

I next built from Jython trunk (as of https://hg.python.org/jython/rev/93c09145137e) a Jython installer jar, and installed it. This has the latest upstream pip and setuptools as part of ensurepip bundling; and also has updates to SSL:

$ java -jar jython-installer.jar -s -d ~/jython2.7.1

Congratulations! You successfully installed Jython 2.7.1b2 to directory /home/jbaker/jython2.7.1.

Then I installed requests with the bundled pip:

$ ~/jython2.7.1/bin/jython -m pip install requests

I also tried with the Jython 2.7.0 release:

$ java -jar ~/Downloads/jython-installer-2.7.0.jar -s -d ~/jython2.7.0

So I'm unable to reproduce the issue. Is it because of subsequent Fedora 22 patches (I need to install a few more after I submit this message...)? A more recent Java 8 - build 65 vs build 45? The one thing we see is it not a change in Jython 2.7.0 vs what will soon be 2.7.1.

It's going to be hard to pin down. I cannot reproduce.

Note that the os.geteuid problem that Jeff Allen pointed out is tracked in #2360, which should be fixed.
