Yes.  But it requires compiling your own customized Jython.

The best docs for doing this are here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/java-readline/java-readline/contrib/jpython/j
ython-install.txt?rev=1.1

java-readline has three choices of back-end library: GNU Readline, BSD
Editline, and Getline.

Getline is the easiest to compile, has no license clashes with Jython, and
works fine for me.  I highly recommend using Getline.

After you compile and install Jython with java-readline support, you'll
need to add a couple of lines to your Jython registry (see 
http://www.jython.org/docs/registry.html):

python.console=org.python.util.ReadlineConsole
python.console.readlinelib=Getline
