I'd appreciate if somebody could share knowledge about Jython.
I know that Jython works quite nicely and there are quite some
people beeing happy with Jython.  

ASFAIK Jython compiles Python into Java-bytecode with no 
intermediate python interpreter.  But i am happy to be corrected.

FWIW, personally i dont't join any Jython effort because 
i don't particularily like to code in Java unless payed 
for it.  If i had to do a lot of stuff in Java and could 
use Jython this would be different.
