Yeah I know... but I've been subscribing to jython-dev for quite
sometime, and the activity there is surely picking up compared to, say,
early 2006. Jython has new committers on board as well so that's
encouraging.

At least for my case I will use IronPython for higher level task, and
perhaps calls libraries written in C# instead of the other way around,
plus you can leave your module as scripts anyway. If what you want from
C# is accessing Python's power then you can always host the IronPython
engine can't you?
