Its generally not recommended to use simple string concatenation for
building larger strings - neither in python nor in java/jython.

afaik there are two solutions to this: The java-way and the jython way:

java: Use StringBuffer
python: use a list, and append the strings to that. Then, when you want the
result, do

"".join(stringlist)
