Jython is still not up to run it. But yes it would be an interesting thing.

Indeed in any case some other things wrt representation would be a problem 
still:

Jython 2.2a0 on java1.4.0_02 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

'a'

<function f 1>

 >>> X
<class __main__.X 2>

In general <...> reprs vary.
