Wrong. But so terribly wrong ;). Jython is not at all needed to use 
python with jEdit. I think the only reason to actually use Jython in 
jEdit is for writing plugins in python syntax. No wait, you also get 
code completion and a code browser, but thats besides the ppoint here.
The console plugin (probably THE most useful of the pack) gives you a 
system shell and means to start compilers/interpreters based on your 
current edit mode. So you can use whatever python version you have 
installed.

I wonder if this thread will ever stop :)
