Hi Brian,

I am developing an application that will need to run in the java world. Developing in python
 is much faster for me than in java - the first reason for using jython.  But, it would be a
 large added benefit if the app can also live in a pure python world.  This goal can be acco
mplished with careful design if I use java libraries only in localised areas of the code so 
that the divergence of the python vs java specific bits of source can be kept small.

So, java integration AND feature-for-feature compatibility with CPython is important to me.

I suspect that the python libraries may pose performance problems in the long run under jyth
on.  So, my guess is that it would be ideal if the CPython libraries could also be implement
ed in java...

I also tentatively agree with Sean McGrath that the java integration goal seems to already h
ave been accomplished well enough.  (But then, this is the opinion of someone coming from th
e python world, not from the java world.)
