Jython does not support C-language extensions. JyNI may be a possibility but it's a separate project (albeit for one of our team).  I think numpy was still too difficult, but look it up.

The particular error you're experiencing isn't for that reason, it affects pip in general, and (the good news) it was fixed in https://github.com/jython/jython/issues/97 for release in 2.7.3 soon-ish (but it won't make numpy work for you).

Yes, we're working on Jython 3 (https://github.com/jython/jython/tree/main) but a release "in the nearest future" is not likely. I'd really like it to be able to wrap or replace things like numpy, after the basics, so we can do data science.

GitHub (https://github.com/jython/jython/issues) is the place to raise issues now.
