Also let's not forget that the PSF has funded a project that's intended 
to help Jython get up to the curve - see 
http://www.python.org/psf/grants/Jython_PSF_Grant_Proposal.pdf. If that 
project succeeds, and if 2.5 development *does* focus mostly on the 
library, there's a sporting chance that Jython can be fully up to date 
for the 2.5 release.
