Using Jython for GUI apps and python for non-gui apps is really like 
using two different languages with great similarities but subtle and 
substantial differences as well.

Perhaps instead of Jython just using SWING from standard python ala 
import swinginter.  It would seem that much more is known about 
interfacing with Java than interfacing with TK and in the latter case 
getting TCL involved as well.  Java SWING is a fuller GUI which is 
understood and used much more widely than TK.  Also on the Mac OS X 
there is great support for java in Interface Builder which might well be 
leveraged.  On OS < X there is at least AWT.  IMHO this is a better bet 
than leveraging Interface Builder and Cocoa which is totally Mac 
specific.

Is this possibly doable?
