Some evidence that Jython has some industrial strength in its present
incarnation would be the fact that it seems to be central to the development
process at Propylon:

I was aware of this by following Sean McGrath's - the Propylon CTO - always
interesting writings digested at www.planetpython.com.

It is confirmed by the fact that their current opening for Software Engineer
lists Python/Jython experience first under Technical Requirements for the
position.
