Python is a real programming language.  We should not turn it in to a Java
extension.
I hate someone just want to take Python to Java mass and say 'me too'.
Perl, Tcl/Tk,
and Smalltalk have no plan to turn themselves in to a Java extension.  Why
Python?  If
you love Jave to death, spent all your time to help sun conquer the world.
Don't mess
with Python.

JPython is good enough for Java lover to play with.  But Java is not and
will never be
the only universal programming language.  Python will live well and better
without Java.
