It's faster to try than to wonder...:

D:\jython>jython
Jython 2.0 on java1.3.0_02 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> x=raw_input("Hello, what's your name: ")
Hello, what's your name: Alex
>>> print "Ciao,",x
Ciao, Alex
>>>

Works fine when interpreting from file too:

D:\jython>type ciao.py
x = raw_input("Hi, your name: ")
print "Ciao,",x

D:\jython>jython ciao.py
Hi, your name: Alex
Ciao, Alex

And also compiling it:

D:\jython>jythonc ciao.py
processing ciao

Required packages:

Creating adapters:

Creating .java files:
  ciao module

Compiling .java to .class...
Compiling with args: ['C:\\jdk1.3.0_02\\bin\\javac', '-classpath',

Ciao, Alex
