Mind you that the opposite is true as well.  CPython can draw on the
huge number of resources available for C.  I use a lot of C libraries
which don't have Java equivalents.  I also make calls out to external
programs to do work and would miss functions in the os module, likepopen and
system, which (last I checked) aren't available in JPython.
